In this article we will discuss about the Cremasteric reflex. So, let’s get started.
Cremasteric reflex
It is a physiological and protective superficial reflex of the testicles found in human (males) which is elicited by gently stroking the inner part of the thigh which causes contraction of the Cremaster muscle which in response pulls the ipsilateral testicle towards the inguinal canal. It is also graded as present or absent.
