The Production of Hormones
The male and female gonads (testicles and ovaries) also produce certain hormones. These gonadal hormones have been divided into male hormones (androgens) and female hormones (estrogens). However, these terms are somewhat misleading because both"male" and "female" hormones can be found in every male and female body. It is only the quantity and balance of these hormones that differ.
