    Study Notes

    • Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm cell production in male testes.
    • It involves mitotic and meiotic cell divisions, differentiation, and maturation processes.
    • The process can be divided into three main stages: spermatocytogenesis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis.
    • Spermatocytogenesis involves the division of spermatogonia into primary spermatocytes.
    • Meiosis I produces two secondary spermatocytes with 23 chromosomes each.
    • Meiosis II produces two haploid spermatids from each secondary spermatocyte.
    • Spermiogenesis involves differentiation and maturation processes to produce functional spermatozoa.
    • This includes the formation of an acrosome and flagellum.
    • Mature sperm cells are released from the seminiferous tubules and move to the epididymis for further maturation and storage.
    • Spermatozoa are capable of fertilizing an egg.
