The interstitial cells in the body produce testosterone for endocrine purposes. The seminiferous tubules' generation of spermatozoa constitutes the exocrine function.
<h3>What are Endocrine Functions of Testes?</h3>
The pituitary and hypothalamus regulate the amount of testosterone the testes make and secrete.
The pituitary gland receives a signal from the hypothalamus to release gonadotrophic chemicals (FSH and LH). The production of testosterone is stimulated by luteinizing hormone. The hypothalamus warns the pituitary gland to produce less LH, which instructs the testes to lower testosterone levels, if too much testosterone is being produced.
Boys' normal physical growth need testosterone. It is the principal androgen, which is a name for any chemical that promotes and/or supports the development of the male genitalia. Many of the processes that help a boy transition to manhood during puberty require testosterone, including:
healthy growth of male genitalia
growth of body and face hair
reduction in voice volume
Adam's apple development
