Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gonads, which are the testes in males and ovaries in females, are the primary endocrine glands involved with sexual behavior. They produce hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, which play key roles in the development of secondary sex characteristics, as well as sexual desire and function. While the pituitary gland plays a role in regulating the production and release of these hormones, it is not considered one of the endocrine glands directly involved with sexual behavior. The thymus is a gland that plays a role in immune system function and is not involved with sexual behavior. The penis and vagina are anatomical structures involved in sexual behavior but are not endocrine glands.
