Q

Spermatogenesis

A

Sum of all cellular transformations (mitotic divisions+meiosis+spermiogenesis) in developing germ cells witch give rise to spermatozoa

  • SPERMATOGENESIS
  • SPERMATOCITOGENESIS
  • MEIOSIS
  • SPERMIOGENESIS
  • *(SPERMIOMORFOGENESIS)**

Q

Spermatocitogenesis

A

Sum of all cellular transformations (mitotic divisions) in developing germ cells witch give rise to spermatids Take place in the seminiferous tubule

Three steps (periods):

  • germination period;
  • growth period;
  • maturation period.

Q

Spermiogenesis

A

The progressive morphologic changes of spermatides to form spermatozoa.

It is conducted in four phases:

  • *1. Golgi phase;
    2. Cap phase;
    3. Acrozomal phase;
    4. Maturation phase.**

Q

Golgi phase

A
  • First steps in developpment of the acrosome
  • The Golgi apparatus give rise to many small vesicles (proacrosomic vesicles)
  • The proacrosomic vesicles fuse to generate a large vesicle (acrosomic vesicle) containing acrosomic granules
  • The centrioles migrate to the base of nucleus
  • The proximal centriole will give rise to an implantation apparatus that allows the flagellum to be anchored to the nucleus
  • The distal centriole give rise to the developing axoneme
