Question

Supporting cells found in between the germinal
epithelium of testes are called
(a) interstitial cells of leydig
(b) sertoli cells
(c) granular cells
(d) phagocytes

Answer 1

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. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
