Tight junctions between ___________ are responsible for the formation of the blood-testis barrier.
A)Leydig cells
B)Sertoli cells
C)spermatogonial cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tight junctions between Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules form the blood-testis barrier, which separates the developing germ cells from the blood supply and prevents potentially harmful substances from reaching them. Leydig cells produce testosterone, spermatogonial cells are the precursor cells for sperm, and trophoblast cells are found in the placenta, but none of these are directly involved in forming the blood-testis barrier.
