Sertoli cell [edit on Wikidata] A Sertoli cell (a kind of sustentacular cell) is a nurse cell of the testicles that is part of a seminiferous tubule and helps in the process of spermatogenesis; that is, the production of sperm.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: Structure and Function In pancreatic cells, the rough ER produces insulin. The rough and smooth ER are usually interconnected and the proteins and membranes made by the rough ER move into the smooth ER to be transferred to other locations. The smooth ER has a wide range of functions including carbohydrate and lipid synthesis.

The Function of Red Blood Cells The main function of red blood cells (erythrocytes) is to distribute oxygen to body tissues, and to carry waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Red blood cells are biconcave, giving them a large surface area for gas exchange, and highly elastic, enabling them to pass through narrow capillary vessels.

The Function of Red Blood Cells Red Blood Cells. Red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, are the most abundant cell type in the blood. Other major blood components include plasma, white blood cells, and platelets. The primary function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen to body cells and deliver carbon dioxide to the lungs.A red blood cell has what is known as a biconcave shape. Both sides of the cell's surface curve inward like the interior of a sphere.s more red blood cells enter blood circulation, oxygen levels in the blood and tissues increase. When the kidneys sense the increase in oxygen levels in the blood, they slow the release of erythropoietin. As a result, red blood cell production decreases. Red blood cells circulate on average for about 4 months.

Endoplasmic reticulum 1 Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), so called because it is studded with ribosomes, and secretes proteins into the cytoplasm.  Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER). Among its functions is the production of proteins and steroids, the maintenance of plasma membranes, and a pathway for molecules to move along.

Hormonal Control of Testicular Descent Before the identification of INSL3, it was suggested that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) produced by the Sertoli cells was responsible for the abdominal stage of testicular descent. Indeed, persistent Müllerian duct syndrome in males is characterized by genital abnormalities, including undescended testes.

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Sertoli cells have receptors for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone which are the main hormonal regulators of spermatogenesis. Hormones such as testosterone, FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) are known to influence the germ cell fate. Their removal induces germ cell apoptosis.

Sermorelin TherapyâAntiage or Rage? Who are the ideal candidates for sermorelin treatments? Dr Novins: Patients who are displaying signs of aging and have a low IGF-1 level become candidates for sermorelin treatment. What are the expected long-term health benefits of sermorelin therapy? Dr Novins: Long-term health benefits that have been reported include increased skin elasticity and texture, increased energy and emotional stability, improved bone density, increased muscle mass and strength, less fat tissue, improved memory, improved sexual function, improved cardiovascular strength and lower blood pressure, higher HDL

What's the Deal with Powdered Peanut Butter? What's the deal with powdered peanut butter? Have you seen this stuff in the grocery store? It keeps catching my eye in the organic aisle — specifically this PB2 powdered peanut butter claiming 85% less fat, calories. Have you tried it? I finally picked up a jar and tested it out, next to a scoop of real peanut butter.

Educational Objectives 7. May have a flagellum which arises from the plasma membrane and protrudes through the cell wall. This is the source of the H antigen which is used in serologic diagnosis. It is also the motility organ and possibly an organ for attachment to a human cell. It is considered a virulence factor.

Endoplasmic reticulum The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (abbreviated SER) has functions in several metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids. Cells which secrete these products, such as those in the testes, ovaries, and sebaceous glands have an abundance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The Function and Cell Types of Epithelial Tissue Endothelial Cell Functions. Endothelial cells perform a variety of essential functions in the body. One of the primary functions of endothelium is to act as a semi-permeable barrier between body fluids (blood and lymph) and the organs and tissues of the body.

- 1 These cells function as killer or cytotoxic cells because they are able to destroy target T-cells which express specific antigens that they recognize. 2  These cells are important in fighting viral infections and tumours. 3  Helper T-cells (CD4+) are middlemen in the immune response.

- Cilliated columnar cells have their apical (or outside facing) surface covered with many tiny little hairs called cilia. These are used to push mucus and other particles along, making it flow in a specific direction.

The Primary Cilium: An Orphan Organelle Finds a Home The function of cilia is to move water relative to the cell in a regular movement of the cilia. This process can either result in the cell moving through the water, typical for many single-celled organisms, or in moving water and its contents across the surface of the cell.or example, in humans, only a few cell types have motile cilia, namely sperm, epithelia cells in the bronchi and oviducts, and ependymal cells that line brain vesicles. But virtually all other cells have a primary cilium.

Sertoli Cells: Function & Concept First, sertoli cells make a number of substances that initiate and regulate sperm production. Probably the most important are molecules called inhibin and activin, proteins that control the actions of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). Activin 'activates' FSH production, while inhibin 'inhibits' it.
