At 8 Months Development in a Male Fetus,the Testes

Question

At 8 months development in a male fetus,the testes
A)remain in the abdominal cavity.
B)have been pulled through the abdominal musculature into the scrotum.

Accepted Answer

By 8 months of development, the testes should have descended through the abdominal wall and into the scrotum. If they remain in the abdominal cavity, it could indicate a condition called cryptorchidism which may require medical intervention. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
