'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is the [[skin]] which builds the [[scrotum]] or '''scrotal sac''' which is more highly pigmented compared to the rest of the body. The septum is a connective tissue membrane dividing the scrotum into two cavities.<ref>{{REFweb

The perineal raphe is a small, vertical, slightly raised ridge of [[scrotal skin]] under which is found the scrotal septum. It appears as a thin longitudinal line that runs front to back over the entire [[scrotum]]. In humans and some other mammals the [[scrotum]] becomes covered with pubic hair at puberty.
The [[scrotum]] will usually tighten during penile erection and when exposed to cold temperatures. One testis is typically lower than the other to avoid compression in the event of an impact.<ref>{{REFjournal
