AB Describe  the  physiologic  functions  of  the  principal  components  of  the  male  reproductive  system.Describe  the  endocrine  regulation  of  testicular  function  by  gonadotropin-releasing  hormone,  follicle-stimulating  hormone,  luteinizing  hormone,  testosterone,  and  inhibin.Identify  the  cell  of  origin  for  testosterone,  its  biosynthesis,  mechanism  of  transport  within  the  blood,  metabolism,  and  clearance.  List  other  physiologically  produced  androgens.List  the  target  organs  or  cell  types,  the  cellular  mechanisms  of  action,  and  the  physiologic  effects  of  testosterone.Describe  spermatogenesis  and  the  role  of  different  cell  types  in  this  process.Understand  the  neural,  vascular,  and  endocrine  factors  involved  in  the  erection  and  ejaculation  response.Compare  and  contrast  the  actions  of  testosterone,  dihydrotestosterone,  estradiol,  and  müllerian  inhibitory  factor  in  the  process  of  sexual  differentiation.Identify  the  causes  and  consequences  of  androgen  oversecretion  and  undersecretion  in  prepubertal  and  postpubescent  adult  males.
