Editing Sertoli cell (section)

==Structure==
Sertoli cells are specifically located in the convolutions of the seminiferous tubules, since this is the only place in the testes where spermatozoa are produced. As the primary support cell of the tubules, they are generally very large and amorphous, with individual cells stretching from the basal lamina to the lumen; their cytoplasm often completely surrounds the germline cells which they are responsible for nursing. Sertoli cells are easily confused with the other cells of the [[germinal epithelium (male)|germinal epithelium]] when using standard [[staining]] techniques; the most distinctive feature of the Sertoli cell is its dark [[nucleolus]].<ref>[http://www.cvm.okstate.edu/instruction/mm_curr/histology/MR/HiMRP4.htm OSU Center for Veterinary Health Sciences - OSU-CVHS Home] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061209185828/http://www.cvm.okstate.edu/instruction/mm_curr/histology/MR/HiMRP4.htm |date=2006-12-09 }}{{full citation needed|date=May 2018}}</ref>
