What does TESTIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
Either of the two male reproductive glands that produce sperm and male sex hormones.
Anatomy textbooks use testis for the gland that sits within the scrotum in most mammals, where a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body supports sperm production. A testis also secretes testosterone and other androgens that drive male sexual development. Anatomists and physicians usually switch to the plural form testes when referring to the pair together, keeping testis for the single gland.
