 - &nbsp; primordial germ cells
-|| Incorrect! The primordial germ cells are not involved in this initial sex determination step.
+|| Incorrect! The primordial germ cells are not involved in this initial sex determination step. The support cells in the genital ridge, forming the testes, express {{SRY}} and this leads to a cascade of signaling differentiating these cells into '''{{Sertoli cell}}s''', also called sustentacular cells of Sertoli.
 - &nbsp; anterior pituitary
-|| Incorrect! The anterior pituitary participates in later hormonal events.
+|| Incorrect! The anterior pituitary participates in later hormonal events. The support cells in the genital ridge, forming the testes, express {{SRY}} and this leads to a cascade of signaling differentiating these cells into '''{{Sertoli cell}}s''', also called sustentacular cells of Sertoli.
 + &nbsp; testes support cells
-|| Correct! The support cells in the genital ridge, forming the testes, express {{SRY}} and this leads to a cascade of signaling differentiating these cells into {{Sertoli cell}}s, also called sustentacular (structural support) cells of Sertoli. The primordial germ cells are not involved in this initial sex determination step. The anterior pituitary participates in later hormonal events. Ovary support cells (granulosa cells) differentiate in the absence of SRY. Mesonephric duct cells, while present early in genital ridge development, are not the initiators of this process but later effected by gonad differentiation.
