Spermatogenesis: Difference between revisions

'''Spermatogenesis''' is the process through which immature sperm cells called [[Spermatogonial stem cells|spermatogonial stem cells]] (which are actually [[Stem cell|stem cells]]) are transformed through a series of different types of cell divisions to produce mature sperm cells called [[Spermatozoa]].

Spermatogonia (or Spermatogonium singular) are undifferentiated spermatogenic cells that need to be differentiated through the processes of [[Mitosis|mitosis]] and [[Meiosis|meiosis]] before they become mature sperm cells. Spermatogenesis occurs in the [[Seminiferous tubules |seminiferous tubules]] of the testis. Both Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis are forms of Gametogenesis (formation of male and female gametes from primordial germ cells).
