The Seminiferous Tubules ________

Question

The seminiferous tubules ________.
A) average 200 inches in length
B) are the sites of the production of androgens for the testis
C) occur in the testicular septa
D) are the site of production of spermatozoa
E) All of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

The seminiferous tubules are responsible for the production of spermatozoa. Option A is a misleading distractor, as the length of the seminiferous tubules varies widely depending on the species. Option B is incorrect, as androgens are primarily produced by Leydig cells, which are located outside the seminiferous tubules. Option C is true, but it is not the main function of the seminiferous tubules. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
