Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Within the brain, the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary control sperm production. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which acts on the anterior pituitary gland, stimulating it to release follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutinizing hormone (LH).
Detailed explanation-3: -In higher vertebrates, especially mammals, sperm are produced in the testes. The sperm unites with (fertilizes) an ovum (egg) of the female to produce a new offspring. Mature sperm have two distinguishable parts, a head and a tail.
