I did the diagram myself based on the one found on the book "Gray's anatomy" 36th edition, Williams & Warwick, 1980; and a diagram found of the review "Formation and organization of the mammalian sperm head" from Kiyotaka Toshimori and Chizuro Ito.

Sertoli cells function to nourish the developing sperm cells. They secrete androgen-binding protein , a binding protein which increases the concentration of testosterone. There are two types: convoluted and straight, convoluted toward the lateral side, and straight as the tubule comes medially to form ducts that will exit the testis.
Diagram of a human spermatozoa showing the acrosome. The acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior (front) half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cells) of humans and many other animals. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus.
Spermatogonia going through mitosis to form primary spermatocytes in Grasshopper testes. Spermatocytogenesis. At puberty, spermatogonia located along the walls of the seminiferous tubules within the testis will be initiated and start to divide mitotically, forming two types of A cells that contain an oval shaped nucleus with a nucleolus attached to the nuclear envelope; one is dark (Ad) and ...
The sperm cell of Homo sapiens is the small reproductive cell produced by males, and can only survive in warm environments; upon leaving the body, it starts to degrade, thereby decreasing the total sperm quality. Sperm cells normally come in two types, "female" and "male", named for the resulting sex of the fertilized zygote each produces after ...
The process of spermatogenesis as the cells progress from primary spermatocytes, to secondary spermatocytes, to spermatids, to Sperm Cycle of the seminiferous epithelium of the testis Spermatocytogenesis is the male form of gametocytogenesis and results in the formation of spermatocytes possessing half the normal complement of genetic material.
Sperm cells cannot divide and have a limited lifespan, but after fusion with egg cells during fertilization, a new organism begins developing, starting as a totipotent zygote. The human sperm cell is haploid, so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell with 46 paired chromosomes.
I made the diagram myself in Adobe Illustrator using the diagram found in the book "Gray's Anatomy" 36th edition from williams and warwick, 1980. I also used this websites: , , and . Author: Mariana Ruiz: Permission (Reusing this file)
