Question

Which cells provide nutrition to the germ cells?

• A. Sertoli cells
• B. Spermatogonia
• C. Interstitial cells
• D. Leydig cells

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Sertoli cells

Each seminiferous tubule is lined on its inside by two types of cells called male germ cells (spermatogonia) and a few large pyramidal Sertoli cells. The male germ cells undergo meiotic divisions finally leading to sperm formation, while Sertoli cells provide attachment and nutrition to the germ cells.
