The process by which a sperm develops from a spermatid.
the development of a spermatid into mature sperm cells.
sperma = seed + gennan = to produce; process by which sperms mature.
formation and development of spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules of the testis
(spur mat´ oh jen´ e sis) [Gr. sperma: seed + genesis: source] • Male gametogenesis, leading to the production of sperm.
Production and maturation of sperm within the testes.
cellular progression in the testis that results in the formation of mature sperm (spermatogonia -- spermatocytes-- spermatids-- sperm).
Sperm production in the testicles.
The development of sperm cells from spermatocytes to mature sperm, including meiosis. PICTURE
The process of formation of spermatozoa, including spermatocytogensis and spermiogenesis.
Production of sperm within the seminiferous tubules. close window
The production of sperm within the seminiferous tubules.
The process of formation of spermatozoa (sperm).
The continuous and prolific production of mature sperm cells in the testis via meiosis.
Gr. spermatos - seed, semen; Gr. genesis - origin, descent].The process in males whereby mature spermatozoa are formed from spermatocytes.
The process of sperm production.
Development of a sperm cell, in the tubules of the testes (the testicular tubules), from spermatogonium and spermatocyte to spermatozoon (the last part of this process, from spermatid to spermatozoon, is called spermiogenesis). The process of spermatogenesis takes 56 days. At any one location in a tubule there are cells at four different stages of maturity, so mature sperm are released from a particular location into the lumen of the testicular tubules every 14 days. A systematic interruption of spermatogenesis results in azoospermia and is called maturation arrest.

Sperm production in the seminiferous tubules.
Spermatogenesis is the process by which male gametogonia develop into mature spermatozoa, the mature male gametes, in many sexually reproducing organisms. In mammals it occurs in the male testes and epididymis in a stepwise fashion, and for humans takes approximately 64 days. Spermatogenesis is highly dependent upon optimal conditions for the process to occur correctly, and is essential for sexual reproduction.
