Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theca cells in the ovary and Leydig cells in the testis are both responsible for producing and secreting hormones. Specifically, theca cells produce androgens such as testosterone, which are converted to estrogens by the neighboring granulosa cells in the ovary. Leydig cells produce testosterone in the testis. Therefore, these two cell types are analogous in terms of hormonal control and secretion.
