Testicles
Description
The Testicles are the pair of male Sex Organs within the Scrotum that consist of the Epididymis, Testes and Vasa Efferentia.
Biological Function of the Testicles
Sexual Steroid Hormones
Androgens (male Sexual Steroid Hormones including Androsterone and Testosterone) are produced in and released from the Testes of the Testicles.
Very small quantities of Estrogens are manufactured in the Testes (the production of Estrogens by males is significantly lower than that of females).
Sexual System
Sperm are manufactured within the Testes.
