- Each seminiferous tubule is lined on its inside by two types - spermatogonia and Sertoli cells.
- Spermatogonia undergo meiotic divisions finally to form sperms.
- Sertoli cells provide nutrition to the germ cells.
- The regions outside the seminiferous tubules called interstitial spaces contain small blood vessels and interstitial cells or Leydig's cells that synthesize and secrete testicular hormones called androgens (testosterone).
