Wikipedia

  1. Sertoli cell

    Sertoli cells are a type of sustentacular "nurse" cell found in human testes which contribute to the process of spermatogenesis (the production of sperm) as a structural component of the seminiferous tubules. They are activated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secreted by the adenohypophysis and express FSH receptor on their membranes.

  1. sertoli cell

    A Sertoli cell is a type of cell found in the testes that is part of the seminiferous tubules, the site of sperm production. These cells play a crucial role in the process of spermatogenesis by providing nourishment, protection, and support to developing sperm cells. Moreover, they also create a blood-testis barrier, which keeps the immune system from recognizing sperm as foreign bodies due to their unique antigenic properties. They are also involved in the regulation of hormonal activity by secreting inhibin to inhibit follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
