  2. Spermatogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogenesis

    Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testicle. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubules. [ 1 ]

  3. Spermiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermiogenesis

    Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, during which the spermatids develop into mature spermatozoa. At the beginning of the stage, the spermatid is a more or less circular cell containing a nucleus , Golgi apparatus , centriole and mitochondria ; by the end of the process, it has radically transformed into an elongated ...

  4. Germline development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germline_development

    Spermatogenesis. Mitotic germ stem cells, spermatogonia, divide by mitosis to produce spermatocytes committed to meiosis. The spermatocytes divide by ...

  5. Spermatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatocyte

    The spermatogenesis process in mammals as a whole, involving cellular transformation, mitosis, and meiosis, has been well studied and documented from the 1950s to 1980s. However, during the 1990s and 2000s researchers have focused around increasing understanding of the regulation of spermatogenesis via genes, proteins, and signaling pathways ...

  6. Spermatidogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatidogenesis

    Spermatidogenesis is the creation of spermatids from secondary spermatocytes during spermatogenesis. Secondary spermatocytes produced earlier rapidly enter meiosis II and divide to produce haploid spermatids. The brevity of this stage means that secondary spermatocytes are rarely seen in histological preparations.

  7. Sperm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm

    Sperm cells form during the process known as spermatogenesis, which in amniotes (reptiles and mammals) takes place in the seminiferous tubules of the testicles. [3] This process involves the production of several successive sperm cell precursors, starting with spermatogonia , which differentiate into spermatocytes .

  8. Spermatogonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogonium

    Spermatogenesis is the process in which sperm cells are produced and formed into mature spermatozoa from spermatogonia. Males mature spermatozoa (sperm) are produced to later join with a female oocyte (egg) to create offspring. Throughout the process of spermatogenesis, there are many different parts of the male anatomy, accessory organs, and ...

  9. Development of the gonads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_gonads

    The first appearance of the gonad is essentially the same in the two sexes, and consists in a thickening of the mesothelial layer of the peritoneum.The thick plate of epithelium extends deeply, pushing before it the mesoderm and forming a distinct projection.
