Physicals should be performed yearly and often for adolescents before entrance into sports. The physician may examine the eyes, ears, nose, throat, mouth, stomach, back, legs, and arms.

The testicles make sperm, and to do this, the temperature of the testicles needs to be cooler than the inside of the body. This is why the scrotum is located outside of the body.
