Spermatogenesis
-Happens in the seminiferous tubules
- the creation of sperm
haploid
gamete that contain 23 chromosomes
diploid
contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, one maternal, and one paternal
process of spermatogenesis
Mitosis- spermatogonia forms spermatocytes
Meiosis- spermatocytes form spermatids
Spermiogenesis- spermatids turn into sperm
Spermatozoa
when spermatids lose excess cytoplasm and tail is formed
head of sperm
genetic region
Acrosome
hydrolytic enzyme that enable the sperm to penetrate the egg
GnRH
stimulates pituitary gland to secrete LH and FSH
FSH causes sustentacular cells to release?
ABP, androgen binding hormone
LH stimulates interstitial cells to release?
Testosterone
development of follicles
Primordial- squamous like + oocyte
Primary- cuboidal or columnar + oocyte
Secondary- 2 or more layers of granulosa cells +oocyte
Vesicular (graafian)-bulges from surface of ovary
develops from ruptured follicle after ovulation
Corpus Luteum
