PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Androgens. The principal androgenic steroid is testosterone, which is secreted primarily from the testes but also, in small amounts, from the adrenal glands (both in men and women) and from the ovaries. Its main function is to stimulate the development and growth of the male genital tract.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gonads secrete sexual hormones, which are important in reproduction, and mediate both sexual motivation and behavior. The female gonads are the ovaries; the male gonads are the testes. Ovaries secrete estrogens and progesterone, and the testes secrete androgens, such as testosterone.
