Solution:

Testes consist of structural units known as seminiferous tubules that are present inside the lobules of testes. Each lobule consists of one to three tubules in a highly coiled manner. Seminiferous tubules comprised of two cells, the main spermatogonia i.e. mother cells that form the sperms and the Sertoli cells or nurse cells where the sperms mature. In between the seminiferous tubules is interstitial tissue that contains Leydig cells, blood vessels, immune cells etc.
