Describe the structure of a seminiferous tubule.

Solution

Seminiferous tubules are highly coiled tubes. Each seminiferous tubule is lined on its inside by two types of cells called male germ cells (spermatogonia) and Sertoli cells. There are regions outside the tubules which are called interstitial spaces,  which contain small blood vessels and interstitial cells or Leydig cells .Other immunologically competent cells are also present.
