Worked practice questions

Each testis is divided into approximately how many compartments called testicular lobules?

  1. 100
  2. 250
  3. 1000
  4. 50
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 250

Each testis contains about **250 testicular lobules**, each housing 1–3 highly coiled seminiferous tubules where sperms are produced.

Each seminiferous tubule is lined on its inside by two types of cells:

  1. Primary spermatocytes and oocytes
  2. Leydig cells and Sertoli cells
  3. Spermatogonia and Leydig cells
  4. Spermatogonia and Sertoli cells
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Spermatogonia and Sertoli cells

Seminiferous tubules are lined by **spermatogonia (male germ cells)** that undergo meiosis to form sperms, and **Sertoli cells** that provide nutrition to the dividing germ cells. Leydig cells are in the *interstitial spaces* outside the tubules.

Open this question →

Leydig cells (interstitial cells) of the testis are responsible for:

  1. Providing nutrition to germ cells
  2. Producing oxytocin
  3. Producing sperms
  4. Synthesising and secreting androgens (testicular hormones)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Synthesising and secreting androgens (testicular hormones)

**Leydig cells** in the interstitial spaces synthesise and secrete **androgens** (testicular hormones) under LH stimulation. Sertoli cells nourish germ cells spermatogonia divide to form sperms.
