Granulosa cells are found within the inner part of the ovarian follicles. They are responsible for converting androgens such as testosterone to oestrogen.

Theca cells, found on the outer part of the ovarian follicles, are the cells that produce testosterone in the ovaries.

Sertoli cells are found within the seminiferous tubules of the testes. They secrete the hormones inhibin, activin, androgen-binding protein (ABP) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH).

Sertoli cells are not found in the ovaries. Theca cells in the ovaries are responsible for the production of testosterone.

Leydig cells are found in between seminiferous tubules. They respond to LH stimulation to secrete testosterone. However - they are found in the testes, not the ovaries.

The equivalent to Leydig cells in the ovaries are the Theca cells. They produce testosterone in the ovaries.

QuestionChoice
The theca cells are found in the outer part of the ovarian follicles.

They support folliculogenesis, providing structural and nutritional support for growing follicles.

They also respond to LH stimulation by producing androgens such as testosterone.
