Question

Which of the following are found inside mammalian testes?

• A. Graafian follicle, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells
• B. Graafian follicle, Sertoli cells, Seminiferous tubules
• C. Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, Seminiferous tubules
• D. Graafian follicle, Leydig cells, Seminiferous tubules

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, Seminiferous tubules

The correct option is C.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Male reproduction organs are known as testes.
2. Typically, the scrotum, a special sac, serves as home to the testicles.
3. Sperm are nurtured by Sertoli cells, produced by Seminiferous tubules, and secreted by Leydig cells, which also release androgen.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

Option A:

The Graafian follicle is a fully matured follicle that ruptures during the ovulatory phase and releases the ovum.

Option B:

Sertoli cells are somatic cells in the testis that are essential for spermatogenesis and testis formation.

Option D:

Leydig cells are the primary source of testosterone or androgens in males.

Final Answer: Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and Seminiferous tubules are found inside mammalian testes.
