Male Physiology

Meaning

Male physiology is the study of the integrated functional mechanisms and biological processes unique to the male human organism, primarily centered on the effects of androgens and the structure of the reproductive and urogenital systems. This discipline encompasses the endocrine regulation of sexual development, spermatogenesis, muscle and bone maintenance, and the metabolic and psychological functions driven by testosterone. Understanding these specific biological controls is essential for comprehensive men’s health and longevity across the lifespan.
