The testes are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called the scrotum. This is necessary as:
| 1. | The scrotum can contain lengthy ducts for the transfer of sperms |
| 2. | Scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
| 3. | Scrotum reduces the pressure around the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
| 4. | Scrotum can store huge amounts of sperms |
| 1. | Length | about 4 to 5 cm |
| 2. | Width | about 2 to 3 cm |
| 3. | Lobes | three in right and two in left |
| 4. | Temperature | 2–2.5°C lower than the normal internal body temperature |
The number of testicular lobules in the testis is about:
| 1. | 50 | 2. | 150 |
| 3. | 200 | 4. | 250 |
| I: | male germ cells which undergo meiotic divisions finally leading to sperm formation |
| II: | Sertoli cells that secrete the androgens |
| 1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
The ducts of the seminal vesicles open into:
| 1. | Ejaculatory duct | 2. | Rete testis |
| 3. | Urethra | 4. | Vas deferens |

| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | Seminiferous tubule | Rete testes | Prostate | Bulbourethral gland |
| 2. | Rete testes | Vasa efferentia | Prostate | Bulbourethral gland |
| 3. | Rete testes | Vasa efferentia | Bulbourethral gland | Prostate |
