  • Provide blood-testis barrier and secrete fructose (correct)
  • Secrete testosterone and support Leydig cells
  • Produce spermatogenic cells and basement membrane
  • Secrete androgen binding protein and support Leydig cells

Where are Leydig cells located and what is their function?

  • Within the germinal epithelium; produce fructose
  • In the blood vessels supplying the testes; produce androgen binding protein
  • Within the basement membrane; support Sertoli cells
  • In the connective tissue between seminiferous tubules; secrete testosterone (correct)

What is the composition of the germinal epithelium in the seminiferous tubules?

  • Composed of connective tissue and blood vessels
  • Composed of Leydig cells and androgen binding protein
  • Contains various stages of spermatogenic cells and supporting Sertoli cells (correct)
  • Consists of fructose-secreting cells and testosterone-binding cells
