Question

Testes are located outside the abdominal cavity in _________.

Answer 1

Testes:

1. The testes are a pair of oval-shaped male reproductive organs located in the scrotum.
2. Testes secrete the male sex hormone testosterone and help in sperm formation.
3. Outside the abdominal cavity, there is a sac-like structure called the scrotum. The testes are protected by the scrotum because the body's high temperature inhibits sperm maturation.
4. As a result, sperm are produced at a lower temperature (2-3°C) in the scrotum.

Final answer: Testes are located outside the abdominal cavity in the scrotum.
