Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules. Along the top of each testicle is the epididymis. This is a cordlike structure where the sperm mature and are stored.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the testes are exposed to FSH from the pituitary, Sertoli cells within seminiferous tubules in the testes produce sperm through meiosis. Immature sperm leave the testes and enter the epididymis where they mature (see Figure 13.7 below). The process of sperm production takes 2-3 months.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Sertoli cell, sometimes known as a “nurse” cell, is a seminiferous tubule cell found in the testicles that aid in the process of spermatogenesis, or the creation of sperm. The testicular organ (gonad) in male humans and animals produces sperm cells, which are gametes (sex cells). More items
