Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When it is cold, the cremaster muscle contracts, which raises the scrotal sac and brings the testes closer to the body to absorb heat necessary for sperm viability. The lymphatic vessels of the testes drain into the inguinal lymph nodes. The vas deferens is located along the upper portion of each testis. The left testis is lower than the right because the left spermatic cord is longer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
After adolescence, the scrotal skin is deeply pigmented and has large sebaceous follicles and appears corrugated.
