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.
