MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The gonads, the primary reproductive organs, are the testes in the male and the ovaries in the female. These organs are responsible for producing the sperm and ova, but they also secrete hormones and are considered to be endocrine glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most men have two testes. The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -(TES-tis) One of two egg-shaped glands inside the scrotum that produce sperm and male hormones. Also called testicle.
