  Male Reproductive System - 1)      Scrotum - It is a Pouch of deeply pigmented skin divided into two separate sac. Each sac contains one testis. The normal temperature of the testis in scrotum is about 2 to 2.5-degree Celsius lower than the internal body temperature. this temperature difference is ideal temperature for developing sperm when the body is chilled the smooth muscles contract and bring the testis close to the pelvic cavity. When the temperature drops movement towards pelvic cavity allows the testis to absorb heat from rest of the body so that the sperm cells do not become chilled. Scrotum remains connected with abdomen or pelvic cavity by inguinal canal. 2)      Epididymis - it is a mass of long narrow closely coiled tube which lies along the inner side of each testis. At anterior end of testis it is called caput epididymis. At middle part of epididymis is known as caudal epididymis. At posterior part of epididymis is known ...
