What are nurse cells?
Posted October 16, 2023

Answer

Nurse cells, also known as Sertoli cells, are specialized cells found in the convoluted seminiferous tubules, which are the site of spermatogenesis within the testes of male mammals. They are called nurse cells because they provide developing sperm cells with crucial nourishment and structural support.
