Testes is a reproductive organ present in males which produces hormone s including androgen and testosterone.

Testes also produces a specific hormone called anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) or Mullerian inhibiting factor that is responsible for sexual differentiation. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH is produced by the Sertoli cells in male fetuses which signals to prevent the development of fallopian tubes, Mullerian ducts, and uterus.
