Testes

The testes are two oval-shaped organs located in the scrotum, which is the pouch of skin beneath the penis. They are part of the male reproductive system and have two main functions: producing sperm, the cells needed for reproduction, and creating the hormone testosterone, which influences male secondary sex characteristics like muscle mass, voice deepening, and body hair. The testes help ensure the production of healthy sperm and the regulation of hormone levels necessary for male reproductive health.
