Question

Write the location and function of sertoli cells and leydig cells

Answer 1

The main function of Sertoli cells, which are located in the seminiferous tubules, is to nurture developing sperm cells through the stages of spermatogenesis. Sertoli cells also act as phagocytes, consuming residual cytoplasm from the process of spermiogenesis. 
The main function of Leydig cells, which lie adjacent to the seminiferous tubules, is to produce and secrete androgens. Hormone production in Leydig cells is highly regulated by feedback between luteinizing hormone (LH) and LH-releasing hormone. 

Answer 2

Answer:

sertoli cells are found in the seminiferous tubule of testis.where as leydic cells are found in the interstitium of seminiferous tubule of testis

Explanation:

Function of sertoli cells

sertoli  cells  are also called nurse cell because it helps the nourishment of the developing sperm during spermatogenesis.

sertoli cells helps in the secretion of Activins and inhibins,androgen binding protein,estradiol etc.

sertoli cell helps in repair of DNA damage caused due breakage in both strand of the target DNA.

Function of leydic cell

leydic cell helps in the secretion of male sex hormone testosterone,androstenedione and dihydroepiandrosterone.
