Detailed explanation-1: -The process of producing mature sperm is called spermatogenesis. Sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes and become mature in the epididymis. The entire process takes about 9 to 10 weeks. Hundreds of millions of sperm are released with each ejaculation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Testosterone production occurs in cells surrounding the seminiferous tubules, called Leydig cells. After being formed, sperm cells travel outside of the tubules into the epididymis, where they mature and prepare for ejaculation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Male Reproduction Sperm maturation occurs in the epididymis. The optimal environment for sperm maturation is determined by the secretory activity of epididymal epithelial cells. Precisely regulated gene expression is required to create and maintain this optimal luminal environment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, and, during this phase, spermatids mature into spermatozoa (sperm cells) (Figure 2.5). The spermiogenesis phase is completed with maturation of a spermatozoon.
