Solution

Spermatogenesis:

  1. Spermatogenesis refers to the process of the development of sperm from immature sperm cells.
  2. The sperm cells remain attached to the walls of seminiferous tubules and nourished by Sertoli cells.
  3. These cells develop by increasing their cytoplasm volume and forming organelles.
  4. It takes approximately 74 days for an immature sperm cell to mature and form a mature sperm.
  5. The mature sperms are transported into the epididymis from where it is ejected out of the male body.
