Explanation:

• Androgens are the male sex hormone-like testosterone or dihydrotestosterone that is secreted by the interstitial cells of Leydig in the testis.
• Sertoli cells are big cells present inside the seminiferous tubules of testis that deals with the nutrition of the developing spermatozoa.
