    The testicles are two gonads that produce sperm by meiotic division of germ cells within the seminiferous tubules, [1] and synthesize and secrete androgens that regulate the male reproductive functions. The site of production of androgens is the Leydig cells that are located in the interstitium between seminiferous tubules. [1]
