The nurse is explaining the function of the male’s cremaster muscle to a group of nursing students. Which statement accurately describes the function of the cremaster muscle?

Explanation of why the other choices are incorrect: A: The cremaster muscle is not directly involved in transporting sperm. C: The cremaster muscle is not related to the control of urine excretion. D: The cremaster muscle does not play a role in trapping blood in the penis for an erection.
