QUESTION

Supporting cells of seminiferous tubules are called as?

OPTIONS

(A) Sertoli
(B) Kupffer
(C) Betz
(D) Stave

ANSWER

(A) Sertoli

EXPLANATION

Sertoli cells are the supporting cells of seminiferous tubules. They nourish developing germ cells, contribute to the blood-testis barrier, and secrete regulatory substances. Kupffer cells are liver macrophages, Betz cells are large cerebral cortical neurons, and Stave is not the supporting cell of seminiferous tubules.
