Question

which of the following functions of Sertoli cells exert negative feedback control on FSH secretion

Answer 1

Sertoli cells produce the hormone inhibin,which is released into the blood when sperm count is too high . This inhibits the release of GnRH and FSH, which cause spermatogenesis to slow down.if the sperm count reaches 20 million/ ml , the Sertoli cells cease the release of inhibin, allowing the sperm count to increase.

Answer 2

Sertoli cells does produce the hormone inhibin, which is released into the blood when sperm count is too high. This inhibits the release of GnRH and FSH, which cause spermatogenesis to slow down. if the sperm count reaches 20 million/ ml, the Sertoli cells cease the release of inhibin, allowing the sperm count to increase.
