Reproductive System

Which cells are targeted by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) inducing the production of which of the listed products?

Leydig cells to promote spermiogenesis

Thecal cells to produce androgens

Nurse/Sertoli cells to produce testosterone

Granulosa cells to proliferate around the ovum

FSH also targets nurse cells which promote spermiogenesis (they don’t produce testosterone). Thecal cells do produce androgens, but that comes after the granulosa proliferate.
