    Spermatogenesis is the process by which sperm cells are produced in the testes through mitosis and meiosis. Spermatogonia undergo mitosis to form primary spermatocytes, which then undergo meiosis to form secondary spermatocytes and eventually spermatids. Sertoli cells provide nutrients and structural support to allow the germ cells to undergo cell division and differentiate into mature sperm. The process takes place within the seminiferous tubules of the testes and continues as the developing sperm move to the epididymis for storage.

    Spermatogenesis

    Spermatogenesis is a cell differentiation process that ensures the


    production of fertilizing sperm, which ultimately fuse with an egg to
    form a zygote. Normal spermatogenesis relies on Sertoli cells, which
    preserve cell junctions while providing nutrients for mitosis and meiosis
    of male germ cells.Is called spermatogenesis.

    Abstract
    Spermatogenesis is the process in which spermatozoa are
    produced from male primordial germ cells by way of
    mitosis and meiosis. The initial cells in this pathway are
    called Spermatogonia, which yield primary spermatocytes
    by mitosis. The primary spermatocytes divides
    meiotically into two secondary spermatocytes; each
    secondary spermatocytes then completes meiosis as it
    divides into two spermatids. These develop into mature
    spermatozoa, also known as sperm cells. This two cells,
    the secondary spermatocytes, and the two secondary
    spermatocytes by their subdivision produce four
    spermatozoa.
    Spermatogenesis starts at the age of puberty due to
    significant increase in the hormone secretion of
    gonadotropin realising hormone (GnRH). This is a
    hypothalamic hormone. The increased levels of GnRH
    then acts at the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates
    secretion of two Gonadotropins – Luteinising Hormone
    (LH) and Follicale Stimulating Hormone (FSH). LH acts
    at the leydig cells and stimulates synthesis and secretion
    of androgens. Androgens, in turn stimulates the process
    of spermatogenesis. FSH acts on the sertoli cells and
    stimulates secretion of some factors which help in the
    process of spermatogenesis.

    Location
    Spermatogenesis takes place within several structures of
    the male reproductive system. The initial stages occur
    within the testes and progress to the epidymis where the
    developing gametes mature and are stored until
    ejaculation. The seminiferous tubules of the testes are the
    starting point for the process, where stem cells adjacent
    to the inner tubules wall divide in a centripetal direction
    – beginning at the walls and preceding into the innermost
    part, or lumen – to produce immature sperm. Maturation
    occurs inn the epidymis.

    Direction
    For humans entire process of spermatogenesis takes 74
    days. Including the transport on ductal system, it takes 3
    months. Testes produce 200 to 300 million spermatozoa
    daily.

    Stages
    The entire process of spermatogenesis can be broken up
    into several distinct stages, each corresponding to a
    particular type of cell in human. In the following table,
    ploidy, copy number and chromosome / chromatid counts
    are of one cell, generally ( in G1 if applicable ).
    The primary spermatocytes is arrested after DNA
    synthesis and prior to divison.
    Spermatogenesis
    During spermatogenesis, the spermatids begin to grow a
    tail, and develop a thickened mid – piece, where the
    microtubules gather and form an anime. Spermatids DNA
    also undergoes packaging, becoming highly condensed,.
    The DNA is packaged firstly with specific nuclear basic
    proteins, Protamines during spermatids elongation. The
    resultant tightly packed chromatin is surrounds the
    acrosome. One of the centrioles of the cell elongates to
    become the tail of the sperm.
