Testis proper
The testis proper is composed primarily of the convoluted portions of the seminiferous tubules, the exocrine portion of the gland. Leydig cells constitute the endocrine division of the testis and are located in the connective tissue stroma between the convoluted portions. Leydig cells produce androgens under the influence of luteinizing hormone from the pars distalis of the pituitary gland. 400x
