Which organs are responsible for the production of sperm in males?

The testes are the primary organs responsible for the production of sperm in males. They are a crucial part of the male reproductive system and serve two main functions: producing sperm (spermatogenesis) and secreting hormones, primarily testosterone. The process of sperm production occurs in tightly coiled tubules inside the testes called seminiferous tubules.

Testosterone, which is produced by the interstitial cells located between these tubules, plays a significant role in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and the regulation of sperm production. The proper functioning of the testes is essential for male fertility, as they provide the necessary environment and hormones for sperm maturation.

Other options represent organs with different functions; for example, ovaries are responsible for producing eggs in females, the adrenal glands produce hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, and the pancreas is involved in digestion and blood sugar regulation.
