Testes
Testes are a major part of of the biological male reproductive system. Starting from childhood the testes form hormones such as testosterone to help determine your moods, and physical features. The biological male testes are surrounded by a thick layer of skin call the scrotum. The scrotum dangles outside of the body to keep testes at a lower body temperature of eighty-nine degrees, instead of the average ninety-eight degrees.
Testes store the male reproductive sex cell sperm. That is why it is such a controlled mechanism. When boys hit puberty spermatogonia in the seminiferous tubules begin to mature and turn into spermatoza in a process called spermatogenisis. Once they are matured, men can produce hundreds of millions of sperm a day that are possibly fertile or infertile. A lot of fertility can be changed based on how you treat your body during its pubescent years, if you do drugs or get STIs you can end infertile; there are more ways then that but those are some of the most common.
Testes main purpose is to impregnate a women but this is if everything is done by the biological books. Males can ejaculate without the necessity of sexual reproduction. The testes release the hormone testosterone which has major effects during puberty such as deepening of voice or growing of hair on places it may not have been before.
