Detailed explanation-1: -Testosterone is a hormone that your gonads (sex organs) mainly produce. More specifically, the testicles in people assigned male at birth (AMAB) and the ovaries in people assigned female at birth (AFAB) produce testosterone.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The testes are the source of more than 95% of the circulating testosterone in men although the adrenal cortex produces large amounts of the testosterone precursor steroids, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione.
