Question

How does the position of the scrotum in a male's body protect sperm?

Answer 1

Scrotum provides a protective covering to the testicles in which the sperms are produced and also helps in regulating the temperature favorable for sperm production.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scrotum is an external skin pouch in male body that consists of testicle in oval shaped glands. The position of scrotum helps it to maintain its temperature a little lower than the rest of the body. Low temperature is favorable for the production of sperm. Along with this the cremaster muscle of scrotum also provide protection to the testicles and the blood vessels (entering into it).

Answer 2

It is a fact that the creation of sperm requires the temperature to be lower than the body temperature. The scrotum is basically the loose skin that hangs outside and so it has a lower temperature than the body temperature. it is basically regulated by the temperature outside. This is why it helps in the creation of sperm.
