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.
