Summary Introduction

To review:

The benefit of having testes in the scrotum rather than having them in the abdominopelvic cavity.

Introduction:

A sac containing testes is called scrotum, which is located between the thighs. It is divided by a midline septum into two internal compartments, one compartment each for the two testes. There is also a spermatic cord along with the scrotum containing a cremaster muscle in it, which controls the height of the testes.
