    Spermatogenesis

    Spermatogenesis is the process by which sperm cells are produced from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. It begins at puberty and involves two key stages: spermatocytogenesis where spermatogonia undergo mitosis and meiosis to form spermatocytes and spermatids, and spermiogenesis where spermatids mature into spermatozoa or sperm cells through processes like nuclear condensation, acrosome formation, and flagellum formation over approximately 64 days.

    SPERMATOGENESIS

    Spermatogenesis is the production of sperm from the basic germ cells Occur in the seminiferous tubules in the testes It begins at puberty

    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

    Basal lamina (membrane) (not recognizable) Myofibroblast Fibrocyte Sertoli's cell Spermatogonia Various stages of the germ cells during spermatogenesis Spermatozoon Lumen

    The spermatogenesis can be subdivided into two successive sections


    The first comprises the cells from the spermatogonium up to and including the secondary spermatocyte and is termed spermatocytogenesis The second one comprises the differentiation/ maturation of the sperm cell, starting with the spermatid phase and is termed spermiogenesis (or spermiohistogenesis).

    Spermatocytogenesis and Spermiogenesis


    (1) Spermatogonia are the basic germ cells. They are diploid (2n). (2) One of these spermatogonia undergoes MITOSIS, and it is called a primary spermatocyte. It is diploid (2n). (3) The primary spermatocyte undergoes MEIOSIS I to produce two secondary spermatocytes. These are now haploid (n (4) Each of these secondary spermatocytes undergoes MEIOSIS II to each produce two spermatids. Spermatids are haploid (n). The result is 4 total spermatids. (5) Spermatids mature into the sperm we know, and these sperm cells are called spermatozoa. They are then ready to leave the body and fertilize ovum

    Spermatids sperm cells : spermiogenesis. Nuclear condensation. Acrosome formation Flagellum formation. Cytoplasma reduction

    The approximate 64 day cycle of the spermatogenesis can be subdivided into four phases that last differing lengths of time:

    Mitosis of the spermatogonia

    16 days

    Up to the primary spermatocytes

    First meiosis

    24 days

    For the division of the primary spermatocytes to formsecondary spermatocytes

    Second meiosis

    A few hours

    For engendering the spermatids

    Spermiogenesis

    24 days

    Up to the completed sperm cells

    Total

    ~64 days
