Testes Essentials
The testes secrete testosterone, which is necessary for proper physical development in boys.
In adulthood, testosterone maintains libido, muscle strength, and bone density.
Disorders of the testes are caused by too little testosterone production.
The testes (or testicles) are a pair of sperm-producing organs that maintain the health of the male reproductive system. The testes are known as gonads. Their female counterpart are theovaries.
In addition to their role in the male reproductive system, the testes also have the distinction of being an endocrine gland because they secrete testosterone—a hormone that is vital to the normal development of male physical characteristics.
