Answer 2

a. Leydig cell produces the male sex hormone.

Explanation:

• Testosterone is a male sex hormone produced by interstitial cells or Leydig cells. These cells are found inside the lobule, between the seminiferous tubule.
• The major purpose of Leydig cells is to create testosterone (T) for spermatogenesis and additional testicular androgenic and anabolic effects.
• The presence or absence of luteinizing hormone(LH) regulates testosterone synthesis in Leydig cells.
• Leydig cells feature a polyhedral shape with a big conspicuous nucleus, as well as an eosinophilic cytoplasm and many lipid-filled vesicles.
