Answer:
Leydig's cells are located adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testes. The main function of the leydig cell is to produce the male hormones.
These hormones are androgen, testosterone, under the control of the pituitary luteinizing hormone.
It also helps in the process of spermatogenesis. Without the help of these cells the production of sperm will not take place as they secrete hormone that helps in the production and maturation of the sperms.
