1). Unlike the female's ovaries, the male's testes are
found within the scrotum outside of the abdominopelvic body cavity.
Why is this the case?
2). Summarize the two primary functions of the
testes.
3). Identify and define the Male functions in
reproduction
4). How does the function of reproduction differ from all other body functions?
Ans.1 The male's testes are found within the structure outside of the abdominopelvic body cavity. This is because for the production of sperms it require proper Temperature so, the temperature is 2-Degree lower than normal temp. of human body.
when the body get chilled due to external temperature the smooth muscle contract and testes come in contact with pelvic cavity.so it absorb heat from the body so that sperm cannot get chilled and it production get back to normal.
So, for the production of sperms properly it is found in this pouch like structure.
Ans-2 The two primary function of testes are
1. it perform the function of Spermatogenesis which is known as production of sperms.
2. it produce male sex hormones which is testosterone.
Spermatogenesis which begins in seminiferous tubule and Sertoli cells of seminiferous tubule provide nutrition to spermatid.
the Leydig cells which are present in between the seminiferous tubule secrete testosterone which is responsible for the proper functioning of male reproductive system.
