Male Reprod. Sys.: Scrotum
Subgroup: Cremaster Muscles LM: 577 TB: 1026 CN: 1 |
Definition/Function:
Contract to bring the testes closer to the body increasing their temperature. When the relax the testes descend. CN: 1 |

Male Reprod. Sys.: Testis
Subgroup: Rete Testis LM: 577 TB: 1026 CN: 5 |
Definition/Function:
A tubular network on the posterior side of the testis; the spermatozoa pass through here from the straight tubule, to the epididymis to mature. CN: 5 |
