Question

State whether the following statements are true or false .
In primates, the condition of the failure of testes to descend in the scrotal sac is known as cryptorchidism.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Cryptorchidism occurs when one or both of the testicles do not descend into the scrotum while the fetus is developing. Undescended testicles may be palpable or unpalpable. Palpable means that a doctor will be able to feel the undescended testicle during a physical examination. About 80 per cent of undescended testicles is palpable. The testicle is usually located at the end of the inguinal canal, a channel that carries the spermatic cord towards the penis and scrotum.

So the correct option is 'True'.
