Scrotum. The bag of skin that holds and helps to protect the testicles. The testicles make sperm and, to do this, the temperature of the testicles needs to be cooler than the inside of the body. This is why the scrotum is located outside of the body.

Where is the scrotum on a man?
The scrotum is a thin external sac that is located under the penis and is composed of skin and smooth muscle. This sac is divided into two compartments by the scrotal septum. The average wall thickness of the scrotum is about 8 mm. It has a parietal and a visceral layer.
Is scrotum the same as balls?
The scrotum is the sack of skin that hangs below the penis. Inside the scrotum are the testicles (testes), which are two small organs that are sometimes called “balls.” It is normal for the testicles to hang unevenly, with one lower than the other (usually the left!).
What does a scrotum look like?
The scrotum is a sac of skin that hangs from the body at the front of the pelvis, between the legs. It sits next to the upper thighs, just below the penis. The scrotum contains the testicles. These are two oval-shaped glands responsible for producing and storing sperm.
How many scrotum does a man have?
The average size of a man testicle is about 4 x 3 x 2 centimeters (cm) in size and is oval shaped. Most men have two testicles, also known as testes. It's common for one of a man's testicles to be a different size than the other testicle. Testicles reside in the scrotum, attached at each end to the spermatic cord.
Does urine and sperm come out of the same place?
No. While sperm and urine both pass through the urethra, they can't come out at the same time.
What's inside a man's testicle?
Each testicle is covered by tough, fibrous layers of tissue called the tunica. The outer layer is called the tunica vaginalis and the inner layer is called the tunica albuginea. The testicle is divided into parts called lobules. Each lobule contains tiny U-shaped tubes called seminiferous tubules.
Why do your balls move?
Therefore, one of the main reasons you might see testicles moving around relates to temperature. The cremaster muscle is responsible for the movement. It expands and contracts according to temperature – moving them further from the body when it's warm and closer to the body when it's cold.
How do you clean your scrotum?
Gently wash the penis with warm water each day when you're having a shower or bath. If you have a foreskin, pull it back gently and wash underneath. If you don't wash underneath the foreskin correctly, a cheesy-looking substance called smegma may begin to gather.
Can your balls get full?
Your testicles do expand from time to time, though—they can grow up to twice their regular size during sex, since the whole region is flooded with blood during sexual activity.
What causes a man's balls to swell up?
Common Causes
Infection: The testicle and epididymis, the part of the testicle that stores sperm, can sometimes become infected, causing pain and swelling that starts quickly and gets worse. Fluid Buildup: An injury or infection can cause fluid to build up around the testicle, causing painful swelling.
What does a dead testicle feel like?
When the testes die, the scrotum will be very tender, red, and swollen. Often the patient won't be able to get comfortable. Any pain or discomfort in the testes is a sign to get medical help right away.
Which nut produces sperm?
Testicles (testes)
Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.
Why does a man's balls tighten up?
The scrotum also moves in response to heat to protect the delicate testicles and sperm inside. In doing so, it helps keep the sperm viable by preventing them from becoming too warm or too cold. In cold weather, the skin tightens up as the cremaster muscle pulls the testicles toward the body to keep them warm.
Why does sperm come out when I sleep?
During sleep
Known as nocturnal emissions, or wet dreams, these nighttime leakages occur when dreams cause sexual arousal. Contact with bedding or clothing may also cause arousal and subsequent ejaculation of semen.
What is the clear liquid that comes out before sperm?
Pre-ejaculate is a natural lubricant
Pre-ejaculate is a fluid that is discharged from a penis when it's aroused and usually occurs right before ejaculation. The fluid acts as a natural lubricant during sex.
How long does it take for sperm to come out of a woman?
Sperm can live inside the vagina for up to 7 days. Once sperm enters the uterus, there is no scientifically proven way of removing it. Between a few minutes and several hours after intercourse, some fluid may come out of the vagina.
