SPERMATOGENESIS Flashcards
it is the immature form of male gamete
Spermatid
it is the development of spermatocytes from spermatogonia
Spermatocytogenesis
it is the undifferentiated male germ cell
Spermatogonia
A cell that is derived by mitosis from a spermatogonium
Spermatocyte
Haploid male gametes that results from division of secondary spermatocytes
spermatid
a cellular restructuring of the spermatids to spermatozoa without any cell divisions
Spermiogenesis
process whereby a spermatid undergoes metamorphosis into a spermatozoon
Spermiogenesis
process whereby a spermatid undergoes metamorphosis into a spermatozoon
Spermiogenesis
Part of the Spermatid that makes up the Head of the spermatozoon
Nucleus
Part of the Spermatid that makes up the spiral filament of the Middle Piece of the spermatozoon
Mitochondria
Part of the Spermatid that makes up the envelope around the head, mid piece, & tail of the spermatozoon
Cytoplasm
Part of the Spermatid that makes up the Neck of the spermatozoon
Centriole
Part of the Spermatid that makes up the acrosome of the spermatozoon
Golgi Apparatus
Part of the spermatozoon that is made up of the Nucleus of the spermatid
Head
Part of the spermatozoon that is made up of the Centriole of the spermatid
Neck
Part of the spermatozoon that is made up of the Cytoplasm of the spermatid
Envelope around the head, mid piece, & tail
Part of the spermatozoon that is made up of the Mitochondria of the spermatid
Spiral filament of the Mid piece
Part of the spermatozoon that is made up of the Golgi Apparatus of the spermatid
Acrosome
It is the mature form of the male gamete
Spermatozoa
Site of spermatogenesis
seminiferous tubule
Spermatogonia undergoes mitosis which produces ??
Primary spermatocyte / diploid (2n)
Primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis 1 that produces (1) and undergoes meiosis 2 that produces (2)
- 2 Secondary spermatocyte (2n)
- 4 spermatids
This is the process of production of spermatozoa
