Answer #1

Answer: (d) both (b) and (c)

Explanation:

Testosterone is necessary for sperm production and maintains sexual function as well as muscle and bone mass. Testosterone is produced by Leydig cells in the interstitium of the testes when stimulated by LH. Sperm production occurs in the seminiferous tubules, where the sperm are nurtured by Sertoli cells stimulated by FSH and high concentrations of intratesticular testosterone.

Low levels of LH and FSH deprive the testis of the signals required for spermatogenesis, leading to markedly decreased sperm counts in most men. Sperm counts uniformly rise when administered with LH and FSH.
