Spermatogenesis

What happens during spermatogenesis?

Spermatogenesis (Greek sperma = germ, genesis = origin, origin) is the process of formation of male germ cells (sperm).

During puberty, primary spermatocytes first double during the first meiotic phase. Thus, a primary spermatocyte becomes two secondary spermatocytes.

This is followed by the second meiotic phase, during which four spermatids emerge from the two spermatocytes. Spermatids are not yet finished sperm, because they lack u.a. another scourge (flagellum), with which they can move. Spermiogenesis completes the process of spermatogenesis: four spermatozoa have emerged from a spermatocyte

Summary

Spermatogenesis is responsible for the formation of male germ cells. Here are four sperm from a spermatocyte

In principle, spermatogenesis, like oogenesis, takes place.
