for erection;
The scrotum; is a sac like skin that suspends the testis outside the body at a lower temperature than
that of the body ideal for spermatogenesis; the testis; contains numerous seminiferous tubules that
nourish the sperms until they become mature; the epididymis; is long and coiled; to provide a large
