Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nurse cells (also known as Sertoli cells) are found in the seminiferous tubules of the testes and provide support to developing sperm. They nourish and protect the developing sperm and also play a role in regulating the microenvironment in which sperm develop. Follicular cells are found in the ovaries, endometrial cells are found in the lining of the uterus, Leydig cells are found in the testes and are responsible for producing testosterone, and prostatic cells are found in the prostate gland.
