One of the functions of the testes is to produce sperm. The other function of the testes is to produce hormones, namely testosterone.
acts as a climate control system for the testes.
Castration, removal or destruction of the testes, has a drastic effect of endocrine functions, as the testes are major sites of hormone production. As a vasectomy leaves the testes in tact, there is no effect on the endocrine system. Both methods prevent reproduction.

Production of sperms is very important function of testis. That is non-endocrine function.
They have absolute control over the testes. The pituitary releases gonadotropines called follicule stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which binds cell membrane receptors in the testes cells which then stimulates the production of testosterone. It also stimulates cell division (meiosis) in the testes for production of spermatozoa.
