This deck covers the roles of sex hormones in humans. We'll start with puberty, the period of development where secondary sexual characteristics appear, driven by hormones.
Lesson#2
In males, the main sex hormone is testosterone, which is produced in the testes. During puberty, testosterone causes the development of secondary sexual characteristics like a deeper voice, and growth of facial and body hair.

testosterone
Quiz#4
In the male reproductive system, where is testosterone produced?

Quiz#6
What is the main female sex hormone responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics?
oestrogen
