Nurse cells
Sertoli cell (nurse cells), nourish and protect developing spermatozoa.
No, Sertoli cells do not produce sperm. They provide support and nourishment for developing sperm cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Sperm cells are produced by germ cells through the process of spermatogenesis.
Sertoli cells, which are found in the testes, are stimulated primarily by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. FSH acts on the Sertoli cells to promote sperm production and development, as well as to maintain the microenvironment necessary for sperm maturation.
No, sustentacular cells are found in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity and support the olfactory receptor neurons, while Sertoli cells are found in the testes and provide support and nourishment to developing sperm cells. They have different functions and locations in the body.
Spermiogenesis occurs within the Sertoli cells found in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
Sertoli
The Sertoli cells usually form the blood-testis barrier.

Inhibin is produced in the Sertoli cells in the testis and in the granulosa cells in the ovary.
Seminiferous tubules
No, sustentacular cells are found in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity and support the olfactory receptor neurons, while Sertoli cells are found in the testes and provide support and nourishment to developing sperm cells. They have different functions and locations in the body.
Testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).LH stimulates the testicular Leydig cells to produce testosterone.FSH stimulates the testicular Sertoli cells that nurture the developing sperm cells. Sertoli cells are also dependent testosterone.
Spermiogenesis occurs within the Sertoli cells found in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
Sertoli cells within the seminiferous tubules of the testes provide physical and nutritional support to the developing germ cells of the spermatogenic lineage. They regulate the microenvironment within the tubules, provide structural support, and also secrete various factors necessary for sperm production.
