Select the option which correctly matches the endocrine gland with its hormone and its function.
- A Placenta \(⇒\) Estrogen \(⇒\) Initiates secretion of the milk
- B Corpus luteum \(⇒\) Estrogen \(⇒\) Essential for maintenance of endometerium
- C Leydig’s cells \(⇒\) Androgen \(⇒\) Initiates the production of sperms
- D Ovary\( ⇒\) \(FSH\) \(⇒\) Stimulates follicular development and the secretion of estrogens
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Leydig’s cells \(⇒\) Androgen \(⇒\) Initiates the production of sperms
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(c) : Interstitial cells (or Leydig ‘s cells) are the cells interspersed between the seminiferous tubules of the testis. They secrete androgens including testosterone in response to stimulation by luteinizing hormone from the anterior pitutary gland. Androgens produce and maintain male characteristics and stimulate germinal epithelium to undergo spermatogenesis.
