The process of spermatogenesis is regulated by various hormones and involves specific cellular events. Select the correct statements from the following : A. Spermatogenesis is initiated at puberty due to a significant increase in the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). B. Luteinising hormone (LH) acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates the secretion of factors that help in spermiogenesis. C. Follicle sti
Options
- AA, D and E only
- BB, C and D only
- CA, B and C only
- DC and E only
Correct answer
A. A, D and E only
Step-by-step solution
Spermatogenesis is initiated at puberty due to a significant increase in the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. Thus, statement A is correct. Luteinising hormone (LH) acts on the Leydig cells (interstitial cells) and stimulates the synthesis and secretion of androgens. Thus, statement B is incorrect. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on the Sertoli cells and stimulates the secretion of some factors which help in the process of spermiogenesis. Thus, statement C is incorre
