Testicular Physiology

Meaning

The comprehensive study of the functional processes and structural organization of the testes, the primary male reproductive organs, focusing on their dual roles in producing androgens, chiefly testosterone, and generating spermatozoa. Optimal testicular physiology is fundamental to male endocrine health, reproductive capacity, and overall vitality throughout the lifespan. This physiology is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which governs its function.
