The scrotum remains connected to the abdominal cavity with the help of inguinal canals. They help in the descent of the testes into the scrotum.
The testes hang in the scrotum with the help of spermatic cords.
The testes remain connected to the wall of the scrotum by the gubernaculum.
Pampiniform plexus is an extensive network of veins from the testis that help in cooling down the temperature of blood in the testicular artery. Without it, the warm arterial blood would heat the testes and inhibit sperm production.
