The cells present in testes and secrete testosterone are___________?
Correct answer: C. Interstitial cells
- A. Sertoli cells
- B. Germinal cell
- C. Interstitial cells
- D. Spermatocyte
Explanation
Interstitial cells, also called Leydig cells, lie between the seminiferous tubules and produce testosterone in response to luteinising hormone. The likely mistake is Sertoli cells, which nourish developing sperm and support spermatogenesis but do not secrete the main testicular androgen.
