Identify the correct option [A], [B], [C], [D] with respect to spermatogenesis.
Options
A.FSH, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, spermatogenesis.
B.ICSH, Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, spermatogenesis.
C.FSH, Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, spermiogenesis.
D.ICSH, Interstitial cells, Leydig cells, spermiogenesis.
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Hormonal control of spermatogenesis]
GnRH stimulates pituitary secretion of LH and FSH. A is FSH; B is Leydig cells, stimulated by LH to secrete androgens; C is Sertoli cells, stimulated by FSH; D is spermiogenesis, the transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa. Hence, option (3). Androgens support spermatogenesis, while Sertoli cell factors support spermiogenesis.
