5. Ovaries
54
Reproductive glands of endocrine system release sex hormones to keep the male and female reproductive systems properly. The (6) of male which lie in the scrotum, secretes hormones called (7); the most important of which is testosterone. These hormones are secreted that affect many male characteristics such as the development of secondary sexual characteristics like the growth of hair in various body parts as well as (8) production. On the other hand, the (9) of the female produce estrogen and (10). These hormones cause the development of female
sexual characteristics like breast enlargement and in the regulation and maintenance of menstruation and pregnancy, respectively.
