90. Failure of descending testis into the scrotum is known as a.cryptorchidism b.paedogenes c.impotency d.castration
During embryonic life, the testes develop within the abdominal cavity but descend into the scrotum prior to birth. If they fail to do this, it is called undescended testis (cryptorchidism). If the condition is not corrected, infertility is likely to follow and the risk of testicular cancer is increased. So, the correct answer is 'Cryptorchidism'
