 The male reproductive system enables a man to have sexual intercourse and to fertilize ova (eggs) with sperm (male sex cells). Sperm, along with male sex hormones, are produced in the "testes," a pair of oval-shaped glands which are suspended in a pouch called the scrotum; they are the source of spermatozoa and also of male sex hormones called androgens. The sexual organs of the male are partly visible and partly hidden within the body.

The Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 6/24/2004
The Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment is a thorough analysis of thyroid hormone metabolism, including central thyroid gland regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral thyroid conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity. This test allows the practitioner to pinpoint common imbalances that underlie a broad spectrum of chronic illness.
The Male Reproductive System

The male reproductive system enables a man to have sexual intercourse and to fertilize ova (eggs) with sperm (male sex cells). Sperm, along with male sex hormones, are produced in the "testes," a pair of oval-shaped glands which are suspended in a pouch called the scrotum; they are the source of spermatozoa and also of male sex hormones called androgens. We discuss the male reproductive system.
The Testes
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 7/1/2003
The testes, or testicles, are the male gonads. They contain germ cells that differentiate into mature spermatozoa, supporting cells called Sertoli cells, and testosterone-producing cells called the Leydig cells. The germ cells migrate to the fetal testes from the embryonic yolk sac. The Sertoli cells are analogous to the granulosa cells in the ovary, and the Leydig (interstitial) cells are analogous to the stromal cells of the ovary.
