Chapter 28, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The types of cells in the testes that are responsible for the functions related to the reproductive activity and their functions.
Introduction:
Testes are oval in shape and are a part of the male reproductive the function of which is to produce sperm and more importantly the secretion of hormone testosterone. They are enclosed in a hard bony structure called scrotum. They are present in pair. They are separated by the spermatic cords. In them the process of spermatogenesis or the process of formation of sperms takes place.
