Q.5 Why testes are extra abdominal in male. In which part of male reproductive system sperms are temporarity stored ?​

Answer 1

Required Answer:-

Testes are the part of male reproductive system because they are responsible for the sperm formation (spermatogenesis).

• Testes in male are extra - abdominal because they needs temperature of 2 - 2.5°C lower than body temperature.
• Tests are present in scrotum in scrotal sac which maintains the temperature less than the body temperature.
• If the testes were intra abdominal then spermatogenesis will be infected and there were no sperm formation.
• In some animals, testes are intraabdominal in males. For example :- Elephants.
• In male reproductive system, there's a highly coiled structure called epididymis and it stores sperm temporarily.
