Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
During development, spermatozoa are nourished by

• A. fructose
• B. cells of Leydig
• C. mitochondria
• D. Sertoli cells

Answer 1

The correct option is D Sertoli cells

Each testicular lobule contains one to three highly coiled seminiferous tubules in which sperms are produced. Each seminiferous tubule is lined on its inside by two types of cells, called male germ cells (spermatogonia) and Sertoli cells. The male germ cells undergo meiotic divisions finally leading to sperm formation, while Sertoli cells provide nutrition to the germ cells.

So, the correct answer is Sertoli cells.
