  1. Aspen Gothard Wayne Figg 1/13/2014 7th Male Gonads

  2. The Male Gonads are located behind the penis in the skin pouch called the scrotum. Location of Gonads

  3. Male gonads produce the sex hormones in the body Male sex hormones are called testosterone They stimulate the formation of sperms in the seminiferous tubules. Hormones Produced

  4. Develops reproductive tissues Increases muscle size, bone mass, and body hair Testosterone’s Effect on the Body

  5. It sustains spermatogenesis maintains muscle bulk maintains secondary sex characteristics aids in erectile function. Importance of maintaining homeostasis

  6. Clomiphene citrate stimulates gonadotropin production In the adult it suppresses urinary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) excretion and plasma testosterone concentration in prepubertalchildren Such results indicate that feedback between gonad and hypothalamus is operative and highly sensitive in prepubertal humans. Feedback Mechanisms and Antagonistic Hormones

  7. The gonads are responsible for the production of steroid hormones, such as testosterone However, calcitonin inhibits testosterone Gland releasing hormone

  8. Hypogonadism is a medical term which describes a diminished functional activity of the gonads May result in diminished sex hormone biosynthesis and impaired gamete production and/or regulation Causes infertility Gonadal Failure

  9. The way in which testosterone deficiency is treated depends on whether the treatment aims to improve fertility, sexual functioning, or both. Gonadotrophin therapy – that is, treatment with hormones which stimulate the reproductive organs – has been shown to be effective in improving fertility in cases of secondary hypogonadism. How to cure hypogonadism
