describe the testicles and the way they change - Answers Outside of body bc body temp is too
high
it has Cremaster muscles: they are temperature regulators of the sperm, if sperm is too cold (ex.
Go into cold late) testis go closer to body if sperm to hot (ex. Having a flu) it goes further away
from the body.
When a man gets aroused these muscles pull everything up toward the body potentially to get
ready for ejaculation
When a man has high level of adrenaline the testis come as close to body as possible to
protect the sperm because often when high adrenaline you're under threat or fight or flight
activated.
Also happens in extreme sports that they go closer to body.
