'''Testicular Parenchyma'''
'''Testicular Parenchyma'''
*Interstitial Leydig cells - Produce the androgen testosterone important for supporting spermatogenesis.

*Cappilaries, Lymphatic vessels, connective tissue.

'''Tubular Compartment'''
'''Tubular Compartment'''
*Seminipherous Tubules - Make up highly convoluted tubule network within the teste parenchyma. These seminipherous tubules connect to Rete tubules. The Seminipherous epithelium making up the tubules can be devided into two compartments seperated by junctional complexes between the somatic Sertoli cells within the epithelium:
