Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypothalamus and pituitary gland control how much testosterone the testes produce and secrete.

Detailed explanation-2: -The testes synthesize two important products: testosterone, needed for the development and maintenance of many physiological functions; and sperm, needed for male fertility.

Detailed explanation-3: -The testes are two oval-shaped male reproductive glands that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone.

Detailed explanation-4: -The testis produces androgens such as testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone and estrogen which are the most typical steroids, and also releases proteins called inhibins, activins, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH)/Mullerian-inhibiting substance (MIS) [1].

Detailed explanation-5: -What is testosterone? Testosterone is produced by the gonads (by the Leydig cells in testes in men and by the ovaries in women), although small quantities are also produced by the adrenal glands in both sexes. It is an androgen, meaning that it stimulates the development of male characteristics.
