Their testes function best at temperatures lower than their core body temperature. Their testes are located outside of the body, suspended by the spermatic cord within the scrotum. The testes of the non-boreotherian mammals such as the monotremes, armadillos, sloths, elephants remain within the abdomen.
Ah, the family jewels. Testicles produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. Sperm grows at the back of the testicle, in the epididymis. The testicles hang in a sack, called the scrotum, that sits outside of the body because it is necessary for sperm to be stored at a temperature that is slightly below that of the body.Just as penis size varies from one man to the next, there is a wide range in testicle size as a proportion of the human body.ere are some guidelines for performing testicular self-exam: 1  Find each testicle and the epididymis. 2  Turn each testicle between the thumb and forefinger-you should feel a round, firm surface. 3  Examine the rest of the scrotum contents. 4  If you feel a lump on the testicle surface, even if it is not painful, see a health care provider.
