What are the difference between the testes of a frog and a rat in terms of tunica albuginea, interstitial cells, seminiferous tubules, basement membrane, sertoli cells
Solution
STRUCTURES
FROG
RAT
TUNICA ALBUGINEA
Thick fibrous sheet of connective tissue.
Composed of collagen fibers and occasional smooth muscle cells.
INTERSTITIAL CELLS
Endocrinal in nature and secrete mainly androsterone and testosterone
Major source of testosterone and also participate in steroid biosynthesis.
SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES
Lined by single layer of cuboidal cells. These cuboidal cells form the germinal epithelium
Germinal epithelial component is absent
SERTOLI CELLS
Involved In providing nutrients to mature spermatozoa
Capable of steroid biosynthesis and secretion of inhibin and androgen binding protein
