Question

Within the testes, name any three (3) types of cells plus describe their locations & functions (one of the three cells must be found outside of the seminiferous tubules)

Answer 1

Three types of cells found in the testes are :

Name of the cell	Location	Function
Spermatogonia	These are found within the seminiferous tubules, basically on the wall of the seminiferous tubules.	These cells are basically the germ cells that divide and grow into functional male gametes.
Sertoli cells	These cells are present in the epithelium of the seminiferous tubule.	These cells help in support ,growth and nutrition of the growing spermatogonia. They also secrete inhibin.
Leydig cells	These cells are present outside the seminiferous tubules( between the tubules)	These are the cells responsible for the secreation of testosterone and androgens that are basically involved in the sexual development and secondary sexual characteristics in males.
