Biology Question on Organ And Organ System
Identify the correct option (A), (B), (C), (D) with respect to spermatogenesis.
FSH, Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, Spermiogenesis
ICSH, Interstitial cells, Leydig cells, spermiogenesis.
FSH, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, spermatogenesis.
ICSH, Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, spermatogenesis.
FSH, Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, Spermiogenesis
Solution
The given question involves understanding the roles of various components in the male reproductive system:
(A) FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone):
FSHis apituitary hormone that stimulates the Sertoli cells inside the seminiferous tubules to support spermatogenesis.
(B) Leydig Cells:
Leydig cells are located in the interstitial space outside the seminiferous tubules. These cells produce testosterone, which is crucial for the regulation of spermatogenesis.
(C) Sertoli Cells:
Sertoli cells are found inside the seminiferous tubules. They provide structural support to developing sperm and regulate the process of spermatogenesis. They also produce the hormone inhibin to regulate FSH production.
(D) Spermiogenesis:
Spermiogenesis is the process by which spermatids are transformed into mature sperma tozoa. This involves significant morphological changes like the development of a tail and nuclear condensation.
Correct Answer: Option (4)- (A) is FSH, a pituitary hormone.- (B) is Leydig cells, found outside seminiferous tubules.- (C) is Sertoli cells, found inside seminiferous tubules.- (D) is spermiogenesis, which helps transform spermatids into spermatozoa.
