    male gonads producing sperm and testosterone

    The testes, also known as testicles, are the male gonads responsible for producing sperm and the hormone testosterone. They are located in the scrotum, a pouch of skin below the penis, and play a crucial role in male fertility and secondary sexual characteristics such as muscle mass and body hair.
