Spermatids


Spermatids are connected together by cytoplasmic material and have superfluous cytoplasmic material around their nuclei.

spermatids
A haploid stage in male gametogenesis.
Covered in Lab 14 Gametogenesis and Development
spermatogenesis
the continuous and prolific production of mature sperm cells in the testis via meiosis.
Full article >>>

The spermatids at this point are still round cells. During the process called spermiogenesis the sperm extrude tails, repackage DNA into a head, ...

Then the spermatids differentiate into sperm, losing most of their cytoplasm in the process.

(1) (Zoological) A cell which undergoes meiosis and thereby produces spermatids. See primary spermatocyte and secondary spermatocyte.
Full article >>>

A type of cell found within seminiferous tubules of the testes, a nutritive cell to which spermatids attach for the duration of spermatogenesis until the mature spermatozoa is formed. Sertoli cells form the blood-testis barrier. Synonym: nurse cell.
Full article >>>

The diploid (2n) cells formed by the enlargement and differentiation of the spermatogonia; they give rise by meiotic division to the spermatids.
spermatogonia
[Gk. sperma, seed + gonos, a child, the young] ...
Full article >>>

The cell that undergoes meiosis is a primary spermatocyte. The first meiotic division produces two secondary spermatocytes and the second division produces spermatids, which mature to form sperm.
Full article >>>

Seminiferous tubules are inside each testis, and are where sperm are produced by meiosis. About 250 meters (850 feet) of tubules are packed into each testis. Spermatocytes inside the tubules divide by meiosis to produce spermatids that in turn ...
