Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A cremaster muscle is attached to each testicle. Its function is to bring the testicle closer to the body to warm it or allow it to fall away from the body to cool it, thus promoting normal sperm production. Seminal fluid assists with transporting sperm. The urinary meatus aids in controlling the excretion of urine. Entrapment of the blood in the penis is caused by its spongy tissue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The linea terminalis, also called the pelvic brim or ileopectineal line, is an imaginary line that divides the upper, or false, pelvis from the lower, or true, pelvis. The false pelvis provides support for the internal organs and upper part of the body. The false pelvis is the upper portion, not the total anterior portion. The lower portion of the pelvis is the true pelvis, which is most important during childbirth because it has the narrowest portion through which the fetus will pass during childbirth.
