Answer 2

Answer:

Testis, plural testes, also called testicle, in animals, the organ that produces sperm, the male reproductive cell, and androgens, the male hormones. In humans the testes occur as a pair of oval-shaped organs. They are contained within the scrotal sac, which is located directly behind the penis and in front of the anus

FUNCTION:

The principal androgen produced by the testes is testosterone. The production of testosterone by the testes is stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH), which is produced by the anterior pituitary and acts via receptors on the surface of the Leydig cells. The secretion of LH is stimulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is released from the hypothalamus, and is inhibited by testosterone, which also inhibits the secretion of GnRH. These hormones constitute the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes axis. When serum testosterone concentrations decrease, the secretion of GnRH and LH increase. In contrast, when serum testosterone concentrations increase, the secretion of GnRH and LH decrease. These mechanisms maintain serum testosterone concentrations within a narrow range. In addition, the secretion of GnRH and the secretion of LH must be pulsatile to maintain normal testosterone production. Continuous administration of GnRH results in a decrease in the secretion of LH and therefore a decrease in the secretion of testosterone.

In boys as in girls, puberty begins with the onset of nocturnal pulses of GnRH, which stimulate pulses of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH. The testes enlarge and begin to secrete testosterone, which then stimulates the development of male secondary sex characteristics, including facial, axillary, pubic, and truncal hair growth; scrotal pigmentation; prostatic enlargement; increased muscle mass and strength; increased libido; and increased linear growth. Many boys also have transient breast enlargement (gynecomastia) during puberty. This process starts at age 10 or 11 and is complete between ages 16 and 18.

Testosterone produced locally in the testes and FSH produced distally in the pituitary gland stimulate the process of spermatogenesis. Testosterone inhibits the secretion of FSH, which is also inhibited by inhibin, a polypeptide hormone produced by the Sertoli cells. Testosterone production and spermatogenesis decrease very slowly in older men—in contrast to women, whose ovarian function ceases abruptly at the time of menopause.
