Testicles are body parts that are found on the bodies of male creatures. Male mammals, including men, have two testicles. They are in a sack of skin below the penis. The sack of skin is called the scrotum. Along with the penis, testicles are called reproductory organs or "sex organs". Only males have testicles; females have ovaries instead.
Testicles are a type of organ called glands. Like other glands, testicles make "chemical substances" that keep a body working. The chemical substances made by testicles are called hormones. Testicles also make sperm which can join with ova to make new life. (Read more about this in "What do testicles do?")
Most glands, like women's ovaries, are inside the body, but testicles are outside the main part of the body. This is because the testicles work better if they are cooler than the inside part of the body. In cold weather, testicles pull up nearer to the body to keep warm.
Description of testicles.
Human males (and other male mammals) usually have two testicles in their scrotum. The testicles are firm, oval-shaped glands. Most men have testicles that match in size, but some men's testicles are much larger or smaller than other men's. It is normal for an adult man to have testicles that are between 14 cm³ to 35 cm³ in size.
Nearly all men have one testicle that hangs lower than the other one. Scientists think this may be so that they don't hit against each other. It can be either the left or the right that hangs lower, but in 85% of men, it
