Understanding Spermatogenesis: The Process of Sperm Production

in this video we will study about the process of spermatogenesis spermatogenesis is the

production of mature male gametes which are known as sperms about 200 to 300 million sperms are produced daily in the

male gonads known as the testes these immature sperms also undergo a process of maturation in the idid Mist to form

the mature sperms for a better understanding of this topic make sure to watch our video on the male reproductive

system as we discuss the anatomy of the testes in the male reproductive system the testes contains numerous pipik

structures known as seminiferous tubules the seminiferous tubules have a central Lum and outer wall the wall of the

seminiferous tibule is the main site for the production of sperms now let's look at a closer view

of the cross-section of the wall of seminiferous tibule as as we can see the wall of the seminiferous tubules

contains numerous type of cells and one of them are the primary germ cells the primary germ cells transform through

various stages of development and finally form immature sperms known as spermatids now let's talk about the

process of SM Genesis in a bit detail the process of spat Genesis is divided into two phases the first is the

spato cytogenesis in which one germ cell divides into four precursor gametes known as spermatids these spermatids are

immature sperms the second phase is the spermiogenesis in which no further cell

division occurs but the immature sperms go through the process of maturation and differentiation to form mature

sperms so now let's talk about the series of cell division that occurs in the first phase of stomatogenesis we

start with the primary germ cells known as the primary spaton type A which is found in the wall of the seminiferous

tubules the main job of primary patagonum type A is to divide into two types of cells the first is the type B

primary patagonum the type bonium Auto reproduce and maintain the number of the primary smum type A the first division

in the series ofenis is a mitosis which gives rise to an intermediate stage known as primary smaty the primary smaty

are diploid cells maintaining the number of chromosomes in the second division the primary smaty go through the first

phase of the meosis and divide their chromos Al material into half to give rise to secondary spermatocytes which

are haid cells in the last stage the secondary spermatocytes again go through the process of meosis 2 and maintain the

chromosome number they give rise to four immature sperms known as spermatids looking at the wall of the

seminiferous tuule in a bit detail the primary patagonum are located in the basil layer of the wall of seminiferous

tuule and in the center you can see the various divisions from primary smite till the spaits during all these cell

divisions the CI cells give support and nutrition to the developing gametes so now we know that one germ cell gives

rise to four spermatids but spermatids are immature sperm cells incapable of fertilization and they contain numerous

cell bodies like Golgi body centrioles and mitochondria the spds undergo through the process of sporogenesis

which is second phase of stomatogenesis to form mature sperms the process of sperm Genesis is basically divided into

four phases which converts a immature sperm into a mature sperm the first is the golgy phase where the Golgi body

present in the spermatid forms the enzymes of the acrosome the second is the acrosomal phase where the formed

acrosome condenses around the nucleus to form the cap the third is the tail phase where the cental present in the spaed

forms the tail of the sperm and the last is the maturation phase where the spaed loses the excess cytoplasm and forms a

mature sperm but the mature sperms are still non-motile as we know the process of spermatogenesis runs in the wall of

the semer tuule the mature sperms are then released in the Lumen of the seminer tuule through a process called

spermiation the sperms then spend a few days in the epidermis and gain motility the motile sperms are thus capable of

fertilization so this was all about the process of spermatogenesis I hope you found this video helpful thank you so
