What is Dartos?

Dartos fascia consists of smooth muscle fibers known as Dartos muscles. This fascia is located under the skin of the scrotum and outside the membrane surrounding the testicles. This membrane is known as external sperm fascia. This fascia is a continuation of the structure known as Scarpa's Fascia, a layer of subcutaneous tissue found in the abdomen wall. It is this tissue layer that gives the scrotum its wrinkled appearance. In men, this fascia is called tunica dartos and is located under the skin of the scrotum. The dartos muscle begins to lose part of your tone when one ages. This can sometimes cause the schedule to hang a little lower than once. Shoutek may also seem a little more smoother because of this loss of muscle tone. These folds are located under a shy major, also referred to as large lips surrounding the vagina. Muscle fibers are less developed in women than the corresponding fibers found in the male.

One of the roles of Tunica dartos is to help in regulationtemperatures involving the testicles. This supports the process known as spermatogenesis. Mature sperm develops in this process, allowing reproduction. This process is made possible when the scrotum skin is wrinkled due to the contraction and expansion of muscle fibers.

When muscle fibers cause the scrotum to become less space for heat loss. This type of muscle contraction reduces the amount of lost heat and works to be warm. When muscle fibers expand, the surface surface of the scrotum increases. This action increases the loss and works to cool the testicles.

Cremaster muscle covers the testicles. This muscle works along with Dartos muscle to increase the testicles. This action differs from what is called Cremasteric Reflex. With this reflex, the scrotum is increased when it touches a specific part of the inner thigh. Testing this reflex can help medical experts detect an emergency situation, especially if there has been pain associated with the testes or traumatic injuriesthe area of ​​the weakness.
