Cell Types(Matching) Flashcards
Primary spermatocytes
Inside lumen; undergo meiosis I
Spermatogonium
Stem cells that undergo mitosis and differentiation
Secondary spermatocytes
Inside lumen; undergo meiosis II
Spermatids
Immature sperm inside lumen; undifferentiated
Spermatozoa
Mature sperm made up of nucleus and mitochondria and remain immobile until ejaculation
Interstitial cells
Produce testosterone; only cells outside of tubules
Nurse cells
Produce and maintain fluid in tubules; stimulate spermatogenesis and secrete inhibit/ABP
Oogonium
Undergo mitosis and differentiate; begins and ends before birth
Primary oocyte
Undergo meiosis I; occurs about monthly at puberty
Secondary oocyte
Undergo meiosis II; fertilized ovum or egg
Ovum
One large immobile gamete
Granulosa cells
Nourish the oocyte; secrete estrogen/inhibin
Primordial follicles
Activated during ovarian cycle; some are enlarged
