FSH acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates the production of some factors and hormones which help in sperm formation. They are: 1) Androgens and inhibin 2) Aldosterone and histamine 3) Prostaglandins and Plasmin 4) Androgen Binding Protein (ABP) and Inhibin

Step 1
In males, FSH acts on Sertoli cells, which are located within the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Sertoli cells support and nourish developing sperm cells and regulate the process of spermatogenesis. When FSH acts on Sertoli cells, it stimulates the Show more…
