The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hypogonadism**: - Hypogonadism is a condition characterized by low production of hormones from the gonads. In males, the gonads are the testes, which are responsible for producing testosterone and sperm. 2. **Identifying the Consequences of Male Hypogonadism**: - The primary consequence of hypogonadism in males is a deficiency of androgens (male hormones like testosterone). This results from the testes not functioning properly. 3. **Evaluating the Functions of Sertoli Cells**: - Sertoli cells are crucial for nourishing developing sperm cells. If there is a hypofunction of Sertoli cells, it means that they are not providing adequate support for sperm development, leading to reduced sperm production. 4. **Considering the Role of Leydig Cells**: - Leydig cells are responsible for producing testosterone. A hypofunction of Leydig cells means that testosterone levels will be low, further contributing to the symptoms of hypogonadism. 5. **Conclusion**: - Given that all three options (deficiency of androgens, hypofunction of Sertoli cells, and hypofunction of Leydig cells) are consequences of male hypogonadism, the correct answer is "all of these." ### Final Answer: Male hypogonadism results in: - Deficiency of androgens - Hypofunction of Sertoli cells - Hypofunction of Leydig cells - Therefore, the answer is "all of these." ---
