Question

Write two functions of Sertoli cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

A Sertoli cell (a kind of sustentacular cell) is a "nurse" cell of the testicles that is part of a seminiferous tubule and helps in the process of spermatogenesis, the production of sperm. It is activated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secreted by the adenohypophysis, and has FSH receptor on its membranes.

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

Two functions of Sertoli cells are :-

• Their main function remains to provide nutrition to the sperms up until the point when they're ready to leave the testes.

• Sertoli cells also act as "scavenger cells" by carrying out the process of phagocytosis on the sperms that are either somehow damaged during the process of their making or are dead.

EXTRAS :-

• Sertoli cells are found towards the inner side of the Tunica perpuria membrane of the seminiferous tubules that are present inside the testicular lobules which are present inside the testicles.
• The heads of sperms remain embedded or suspended in the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells.

• Sertoli cells are also known as nurse cells and sustenacular cells.
