cremasteric

This cremasteric reflex is much more active in infant boys than older men.

Unlike other torsions, however, the cremasteric reflex is still active.

The cremasteric reflex (if it was normal before) remains normal.

It also receives branches from the testicular and cremasteric arteries.

There is often an absent or decreased cremasteric reflex.

The cremasteric muscle is part of the spermatic cord.

There are other uses for the cremasteric reflex apart from making the testicles the right temperature.

Stress can also make the cremasteric reflex work.

This phenomenon is known as the cremasteric reflex.

The cremasteric reflex can be helpful in recognizing testicular emergencies.

The cremasteric reflex also happens during sexual intercourse.

The cremasteric muscle is also eponymously named after Riolan.

If the testicles are too warm, the cremasteric muscle relaxes (gets longer.)

Notably, the cremasteric muscle arises from the internal oblique muscle.

Contraction of the dartos and cremasteric muscles causes the testes to be drawn up against the body.

(In the female, the cremasteric artery is very small and accompanies the round ligament.)

The genitofemoral nerve is responsible for both the efferent and afferent limbs of the cremasteric reflex.

The cremasteric reflex is a superficial (i.e., close to the skin's surface) reflex observed in human males.

The cremaster muscle is innervated from the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve and supplied by the cremasteric artery.

These loops are united together by areolar tissue, and form a thin covering over the cord and testis, the cremasteric fascia.

When cooling is required, the cremasteric muscle relaxes and the testicle is lowered away from the warm body and is able to cool.

The cremasteric reflex may be absent with testicular torsion, upper and lower motor neuron disorders, as well as a spine injury of L1-L2.

The dartos muscle works in conjunction with the cremaster muscle to elevate the testis but should not be confused with the cremasteric reflex.

In contrast with men that have testicular torsion, the cremasteric reflex (elevation of the testicle in response to stroking the upper inner thigh) is not altered.

The genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve, cremasteric artery, and ilioinguinal nerve all run on the superficial surface of the external spermatic fascia.
