Match List-I with List-II
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| Male reproductive parts | Functions |
| (A) Leydig Cells | (I) Nutrition |
| (B) Hypothalamus | (II) FSH |
| (C) Sertoli cells | (III) Androgen |
| (D) Anterior pituitary | (IV) GnRH |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) Leydig Cells — this matches (III) Androgen. These interstitial cells between the seminiferous tubules secrete the male hormones, androgens.
(B) Hypothalamus — this matches (IV) GnRH. At puberty the hypothalamus releases more gonadotropin releasing hormone, which starts spermatogenesis.
(C) Sertoli cells — this matches (I) Nutrition. Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules nourish the developing male germ cells.
(D) Anterior pituitary — this matches (II) FSH. Under GnRH, the anterior pituitary secretes LH and FSH; FSH acts on the Sertoli cells.
