Question

Sperms are produced in the
A) seminiferous tubules
B) Interstitial cells
C) Vas deferens
D) Prostate glands

Answer 1

Spermatogenesis is the process in which development of haploid spermatozoa from the germ cells of seminiferous tubules is found in tests. The spermatozoa produced in this process are inactive and say they are motile and do not have a receptor to sense the flux of fertilizin produced from ovum once it has reached the female system. This is later followed by the process called as spermiogenesis where an inactive spermatozoa undergoes maturation and forms active, motile sperms.

Complete answer:
Interstitial cells found in male reproductive system is leydig cells which is responsible for the production of male sex harmone called androgen, interstitial cells are present in tests which lies at the space between any two functional cells. Vas deferens are the ductus deferens which is tubular connection between epididymis and ejaculatory duct, thus tubule is responsible for carrying downs from treaties to ejaculatory ducts, they are seen in pairs, each arising from each testis. Prostate glands are seen only in male reproductive system which is responsible for providing nourishment for the developing spermatozoa to make them healthy and active and are not involved in its production.

Hence the correct answer is Option A.

Note: Seminiferous tubules are the tubular organisation found in testis which is responsible for the production of spermatozoa as they are the sites which can favour meiosis in the whole body of male, the epithelial layer of the tubules consist of certain cells called Sertoli cells which is responsible for the nourishment of the spermatozoa.
