Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Testosterone is secreted by cells that lie between the seminiferous tubules, known as the Leydig cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Signals sent from the brain to the pituitary gland at the base of the brain control the production of testosterone in men. The pituitary gland then relays signals to the testes to produce testosterone.
