*Production of hormones by intersticial Leydig cells
*Production of hormones by interstitial Leydig cells
*The Blood-Testes Barrier formed by tight junctions between neighbouring Sertoli cells. This barrier prevents White blood cells from entering the adluminal compartment of the seminipherous tubules and autoreacting to the haploid spermatids within it.
