Question

Spermatogenesis process occur in:

• A. Rete testis
• B. Seminiferous tubules
• C. Epididymis
• D. Urethra

Answer 1

The correct option is B Seminiferous tubules

Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubules. These develop into mature spermatozoa, also known as sperm cells.


The seminiferous tubules open into a series of channels called the rete testis. The rete testis facilitates the transport of sperm from the testes to the sperm transport ducts (urethra) of the penis.
