Like the ovaries to which they are homologous, testes are components of both the reproductive system (being gonads) and the endocrine system (being endocrine glands). The respective functions of the testes are:

  • producing sperm (spermatozoa)
  • producing male sex hormones of which testosterone is the best-known
