Question

The function of the dartos and cremaster muscles is to ________.
A) attach the penis to the body wall
B) produce erections
C) regulate the temperature of the testes
D) help the testes descend into the scrotum prior to birth
E) move sperm along the ductus deferens

Accepted Answer

The dartos and cremaster muscles are responsible for regulating the temperature of the testes by moving them closer or farther from the body. This helps to maintain optimal conditions for sperm production. They do not attach the penis to the body wall, produce erections, help the testes descend into the scrotum prior to birth, or move sperm along the ductus deferens.
