Which cells in the seminiferous tubules give rise to sperm cells?
A
Sertoli cells
B
Myoid cells
C
Leydig cells
D
Spermatogenic cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of the seminiferous tubules, which are located within the testes and are the site of sperm production.
Identify the different types of cells present in the seminiferous tubules: Sertoli cells, Myoid cells, Leydig cells, and Spermatogenic cells.
Recognize the role of Sertoli cells, which support and nourish developing sperm cells but do not give rise to them.
Understand that Myoid cells are involved in the contraction of the seminiferous tubules to help move sperm and fluid through the tubules, but they do not produce sperm.
Identify Spermatogenic cells as the cells that undergo the process of spermatogenesis, ultimately giving rise to mature sperm cells.
