Answer 1

Testis are placed extra-abdominal, that is, outside the body as sperms require low temperature for the growth and the survival.The extra abdominal temperature is about 2 degree less than the body temperature. The significance of this position is to provide optimum temperature and environment to the sperms.

Extra-abdominal testes position means that the testes hang outside the abdomen. This is important because the sperms in the testes are susceptible to high temperature and they can easily die due to high temperatures of the abdomen.
