What are the testicles?

The testes are part of the male reproductive organs, with a primary function of producing sperm and testosterone, the male hormone.

The testicles are contained in a similar sac, called the scrotum, which is located between the penis and the external structure of the anus. Adult testicles are similar in size to large olives, and it is common for one testicle to hang below the other inside the scrotum. Located near the back of each testicle is the epididymis, a tubular spiral structure that can function to store and transport spermatozoa. Spermatic cord (a tubular structure containing blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels and vas deferens) extends from the abdomen and connects to each testicle. In addition to containing the vital structures for each testis, the spermatic cord also suspends the testicles in the scrotum.
