Question

Testosterone secreted by,

• A. Leydig’s cells
• B. Somatotropic cells
• C. Acidophilic cells
• D. Gonadotropic cells

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In human anatomy, testosterone is primarily secreted by Leydig's cells, which are found in the testes. These cells are a crucial part of the male reproductive system. They are stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland to produce testosterone, a vital hormone responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and overall male reproductive function.

Options	Explanation
Leydig’s cells	Leydig’s cells in the testes produce testosterone under the influence of luteinizing hormone.
Somatotropic cells	These cells, located in the anterior pituitary, secrete growth hormone and not testosterone.
Acidophilic cells	These cells are involved in secreting growth hormone and prolactin, not testosterone.
Gonadotropic cells	These cells secrete LH and FSH, which act on the gonads but do not produce testosterone themselves.
