Testicles, also known as testes, are male reproductive organs responsible for producing sperm and hormones. They are located within the scrotum outside the body to maintain optimal temperature for sperm production.
Testicles generate sperm through a process called spermatogenesis, enabling fertilization of female eggs.
They also produce testosterone, a primary male sex hormone that influences the development of secondary sexual characteristics like facial hair, deep voice, and muscle mass.
Testosterone also supports sperm production and reproductive health. The function of testicles is essential for male fertility, sexual development, and the overall male reproductive system.
