Verified step by step guidance
1
Begin by identifying the primary function of testosterone in the body. Testosterone is a steroid hormone that plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics.
Understand the role of each gland listed in the options: Pancreas, Testes, Adrenal gland, and Thyroid gland.
The pancreas is primarily involved in regulating blood sugar levels through the secretion of insulin and glucagon, not testosterone.
The adrenal glands produce hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, and also produce small amounts of sex hormones, but they are not the primary source of testosterone.
The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating metabolism through the secretion of thyroid hormones, not testosterone. Therefore, the testes are the primary gland responsible for the secretion of testosterone.
