The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the organ that meets the following criteria: 1. **Oval in shape** 2. **Has a dense covering** 3. **Lies in an extra-abdominal pouch** 4. **Has a temperature 2 to 2.5 degrees Celsius lower than the body temperature** Let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Options **Option A: Ovary** - **Shape**: Ovaries are somewhat oval in shape. - **Dense Covering**: Ovaries have a dense covering. - **Location**: Ovaries are located within the abdominal cavity, not in an extra-abdominal pouch. - **Temperature**: The temperature of the ovaries is not lower than the body temperature. - **Conclusion**: This option does not meet all the criteria. **Option B: Eyeball** - **Shape**: The eyeball is round, not oval. - **Dense Covering**: The eyeball does have a covering (sclera). - **Location**: The eyeball is located in the eye socket, which is not considered an extra-abdominal pouch. - **Temperature**: The temperature of the eyeball is not specifically lower than body temperature. - **Conclusion**: This option does not meet all the criteria. **Option C: Testis** - **Shape**: Testes are oval in shape. - **Dense Covering**: Testes have a dense covering (tunica albuginea). - **Location**: Testes are located in the scrotum, which is an extra-abdominal pouch. - **Temperature**: The temperature in the scrotum is typically 2 to 2.5 degrees Celsius lower than the body temperature, which is necessary for spermatogenesis. - **Conclusion**: This option meets all the criteria. **Option D: Epithelium** - **Shape**: Epithelium is a type of tissue, not an organ, and does not have a defined shape like the others. - **Dense Covering**: While epithelial tissue can be dense, it does not fit the criteria for an organ. - **Location**: It is not located in an extra-abdominal pouch. - **Temperature**: Temperature is not applicable to epithelium as it is not an organ. - **Conclusion**: This option does not meet any of the criteria. ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all the options, the only organ that fulfills all the criteria is **Testis**. ### Answer: Testis ---
