The Cremaster Muscle Can Raise and Lower the Testes to Regulate

Question

The cremaster muscle can raise and lower the testes to regulate
A) temperature.
B) expansion.
C) erection.
D) pH.
E) size.

Accepted Answer

The cremaster muscle is responsible for raising and lowering the testes to regulate temperature. The testes need to be at a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body for optimal sperm production, and the cremaster muscle helps to achieve and maintain this temperature by moving the testes closer or further away from the body.
