Question

The testes perform which of the following function?

• A. Produce ovary
• B. Produce sperm tails
• C. Produce male gametes and hormone
• D. Produce sperms and urine

Answer 1

The correct option is C Produce male gametes and hormone

The testis are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called scrotum. Each testis has about 250 compartments called testicular lobules. Each lobule contains one to three highly coiled seminiferous tubules in which sperms are produced. The regions outside the seminiferous tubules called interstitial spaces contain small blood vessels and interstitial cells or Leydig cells. Leydig cells synthesise and secrete testicular hormones called androgen.

So, the correct answer is option C.
