The countercurrent heat exchanger that prevents arterial blood from overheating the testes is the pampiniform plexus of veins. The pampiniform plexus helps to regulate testicular temperature, allowing sperm maturation. It surrounds the testicular arteries and works as a countercurrent heat-exchanger system to cool the arterial blood before entering the testes. This is because the sperms can not develop if the testis is at body temperature.

Answer:
Pancreas.
Explanation:
Pancreas is an organ that acts as both exocrine as well as endocrine gland. As exocrine gland, it secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine that help in digestion of complex food molecules.
As an endocrine gland, it secretes glucagon (from alpha cells) and insulin (from beta cells) hormones, directly into the bloodstream. Both of these hormones are responsible for the regulation of blood sugar level in the body.
Thus, the correct answer is 'pancreas.'
Biomes are described in terms of abiotic factors like soil type and climate, and biotic factors factors like plant and animal life.
1. Latitude and the heat transported by winds are two factors that affect global climate.
2. Other factors, among them an areas proximity to an ocean or mountain range also influence climate.
