- develops in abdomen
- descends into scrotum during fetal period
name the peritoneum that covers the testis
tunica vaginalis

primary spermatocyte
which is the thing in spermatogenesis that divides via mitosis
spermatogonia
overall pic: testis is composed of “” that houses “”
Seminiferous tubules, which house primordial germ cells (PGC)
The most immature spermatogonia (PGC) are found where in relation to basal lamina
closest to BL
spermatogenesis happens where
Sertoli cell cytoplasm
spermatogenesis cycle lasts how long
2 mon
what is the biggest cell in the seminiferous tubule
answer: sertoli cell
read = biggest of the germinal cells: primary spermatocyte
define the acrosome rxn
release of enzymes from the acrosomal vesicle, allowing the sperm to pass thru a zona
