Spermatogenesis occurs at ________ .
35 degree celsius
The elevation in temperature activates sperm, temporarily enabling them to increase their motility to go through the cervix and reach the fallopian tubes.
The lower temperature in the descended testicles serves to prevent the premature activation of sperm by keeping testicular temperatures below body temperature.
The location of testes is specifically important as the process of spermatogenesis requires a lower temperature to produce viable sperm, specifically 1°-8 °C lower than the normal body temperature of 37 °C
