20+ Germinal Epithelium Of Seminiferous Tubules Pictures. The cells in the epithelium are connected via tight junctions. Seminiferous tubule epithelial tissue epithelial tissue of seminiferous tubule of testis epithelium of seminiferous tubule male germinal.

This is magnified image of the germinal epithelium. This ephethelium is made up of sertoli's sustentacular cells and the spermatogenic cells, spermatocytes, spermatids, residual boies and acrosome. The seminiferous tubules produce spermatozoa and the interstitium contains the second major component of the testis, the interstitial or leydig cells which produce testosterone.

The germinal epithelium that covers the ovary is also a type of simple cuboidal epithelium, and so is the germinal epithelium in the testes (in the seminiferous tubule).

Simple epithelium consists of one layer of epithelial cells lying on a basement membrane. Start studying history of seminiferous tubule. In the center, the nuclei with chromatin in thick threads are spermatocytes i in pachytena phase of the. Seminiferous tubules lack germ cells and are lined only by sertoli cells.
