Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sertoli cells are responsible for supporting the development of sperm cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. They do this by providing structural support, producing nutrients for developing spermatocytes, phagocytizing extruded cytoplasm and defective sperm, and secreting hormones such as inhibin. However, they do not secrete melatonin, which is produced by the pineal gland.
