Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for wearing loose-fitting pants and underwear to increase sperm production.
Introduction:
An endocrine gland can be defined as a gland that releases hormones directly into the bloodstream. The endocrine organs that are involved in the production of sex differences are the reproductive organs ovaries and testes. Testes help in the production of male gametes, or sperm and testosterone. This hormone helps in the development of male sexual characters.

Explain in general terms the steps in sperm production. List the steps in order and the location in which they occur.
Why do you think a male may have low LH levels and how/why would that affect sperm production?
keep in mind that the * male has been taking a synthetic testosterone supplement for several months*
The increased membrane fluidity has been attributed to the efflux (removal) of a single membrane lipid component. Removal of which component from the sperm’s membrane could increase fluidity without significantly altering the size and/or shape of the sperm cell?
