The scrotum is a sac-like structure that houses the testes, epididymis, and part of the spermatic cord. Its main functions are:
1. Temperature regulation: The scrotum helps maintain a temperature about 2-3°C lower than the body temperature, optimal for sperm development and function.
2. Protection: The scrotum provides a protective environment for the testes, shielding them from injury and trauma.
3. Support: The scrotum suspends the testes, keeping them in place and preventing them from moving around excessively.
4. Regulation of sperm maturation: The scrotum helps regulate the maturation process of sperm.
