Anatomy of the Male Reproductive System Scrotum The scrotum is a sac-like organ made of skin and muscles that houses the testes. It is located inferior to the penis in the pubic region. The scrotum is made up of 2 side-by-side pouches with a testis located in each pouch. The smooth muscles that make up the scrotum allow it to regulate the distance between the testes and the rest of the body. When the testes become too warm to support spermatogenesis‚ the scrotum relaxes to move the testes away

The other organs of the urinary system- the paired ureters and the single urinary bladder and uretha provide temporary storage reservoirs for urine or serve as transportation channels to carry it from one body region to another.

compounds) Ureters: receive urine from the kidneys and conduct it to the urinary bladder. Urine movement involves a combo of gravity and the peristaltic contractions of smooth muscle in the walls of the ureters Urinary Bladder: receives and stores urine prior to elimination from the body. Urination is driven by the contraction of smooth muscle layers in the walls of the bladder Urethra: passageway that conducts urine from the urinary bladder to the exterior List and describe the functions of the excretory

Cancer formed solely in the bladder of animals that developed stones‚ signifying that the tumors grew as a result of epithelial irritation in the bladder and hyperplasia‚ not because of a genotoxicity of the chemical. The use of melamine is associated with the formation of urinary stones in the bladders of children. Furthermore there is speculation that melamine may also be a cause of urolithiasis in adults.
