Study Notes
- Mitotic proliferation of spermatogonia provides a continual supply of new germ cells
- One daughter cell remains undifferentiated while the other moves towards the lumen to form sperm
- Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis to form secondary spermatocytes and finally yield four spermatids
- Each spermatid is remodeled into a single spermatozoon through spermiogenesis
- Sperm are specialized, mobile cells that contain only the essentials for fertilization
- Spermatogenesis is not always 100% efficient and some cells are lost at various stages
- Mitotic division of spermatogonia results in daughter cells with 46 chromosomes
- Meiosis results in haploid spermatids with 23 single chromosomes
- Sperm travel lightly and only carry essentials for fertilization
- The process of spermiogenesis involves extensive remodeling of cell elements.
