the things we learn in anatomy.....

The cremasteric reflex is a reflex in human males.

This reflex is elicited by lightly stroking the superior and medial part of the thigh in a downward direction. The normal response is a contraction of the cremaster muscle that pulls up the scrotum and testis on the side stroked.

One of the favourite questions by my professor is to explain the cremasteric reflex. I am so gonna nail this question. haha. My next test is on the 20st Nov, an oral cum practical exam where i have to show stuff from the corpse and explain them. What fun, eh?
