Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sustentacular cells, also known as Sertoli cells, are responsible for constructing and maintaining the blood-testis barrier. This barrier separates the developing sperm cells from the bloodstream, which is important for protecting the sperm from potential immune responses and harmful substances. Spermatocytes, spermatogonia, and interstitial cells do not play a direct role in constructing the blood-testis barrier.
