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: -Leydig cells secrete testosterone in males. These are located in the interstitial compartment of the testis and nestled between the seminiferous tubules. They produce testosterone in response to luteinizing hormone (LH), which is produced and secreted by the pituitary gland.
Detailed explanation-4: -(TES-tis) One of two egg-shaped glands inside the scrotum that produce sperm and male hormones. Also called testicle.
