Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Sertoli
Concept:

In the testes, different pituitary hormones target very specific somatic cells to orchestrate reproduction.

Solution:

  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) acts directly on the Sertoli cells (often called nurse cells) located inside the seminiferous tubules.


  • Sertoli cells respond by producing androgen-binding protein (ABP) and providing the necessary nutrients and environment for spermatids to mature into fully developed spermatozoa.


Why other options are incorrect:

LH targets Leydig cells to make testosterone. Inhibin is a hormone secreted by Sertoli cells, not a cell type itself.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
