31 multiple choice 2 points which cells control the chemical environment of the seminiferous tubules and surround spermatocytes and spermatids? follicular cells primary spermatocytes sertoli cells interstitial cells
Sertoli cells are located in the seminiferous tubules. They create and maintain the chemical environment necessary for spermatogenesis by surrounding spermatocytes and spermatids, nourishing them and protecting them from the immune - system. Follicular cells are related to ovarian follicles in females. Primary spermatocytes are part of the sperm - producing cell lineage but do not control the chemical environment. Interstitial cells are mainly involved in hormone production and are not responsible for the chemical environment of the seminiferous tubules.
