MCQ
Supporting cells found between the germinal epithelium of testes are called as:
- AInterstitial cells of Leydig
- ✓Sertoli cells
- CGranular cells
- DPhagocytes
Testes are oval $-$ shaped organs which are made of approximately $900$ seminiferous tubules and connective tissue called the stromal or interstitial tissue made of Leydig cells $($present adjacent to the seminiferous tubules$)$ The seminiferous tubules consist of Sertoli cells along with spermatocytes, spermatozoa, and the spermatids.
The Leydig cells secrete the androgens $($male sex hormones$)$ and the Sertoli cells are important for the formation of the testis and the spermatogenesis.
The Sertoli cells are the nurse cells as they provide nutrition to the developing sperms.
