Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Dartos muscle is a layer of smooth muscle in the scrotum that helps regulate the temperature of the testes. When it is cold, the muscle contracts, causing the scrotum to wrinkle and bring the testes closer to the body for warmth. When it is warm, the muscle relaxes, causing the scrotum to flatten out and move the testes away from the body to cool down. The other options listed are not directly involved in regulating temperature. The Tunica vaginalis is a membrane that covers the testes; the Tunica albuginea is a fibrous capsule that surrounds the testes and forms septa dividing them into lobules; and the Seminiferous tubules are responsible for sperm production.
