Spermatogenesis Flashcards
Multiplication phase
Primordial germ cells of embryonic testes divide by mitosis and differentitate into spermatogonial stem cells . Spermatogonial stem cells divide mitotically and undergo differentiate to form spermatogonia (2n)
Growth phase
Spermatogonia then divide by mitosis and differentiate into primary spermatocycte (2n) . Some spermatogonial stem cell divide but remain as stem cell .
Maturation phase
Primary spermatocyte undergoes and complete meiosis I . Secondary spermatocytes undergoes meiosis II . Spermatids differentiate . The stage of spermatogenesis which the spermatids differentiate into mature spermatozoa is known as spermiogenesis l Spermatozoa released into the lumen of seminiferous tubule .
