What is spermiogenesis?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Formation of spermatozoa (Spermiogenesis) Each haploid spermatid is a typical immotile cell containing a haploid nucleus, cytoplasm and cytoplasmic organelles. The metamorphosis of spermatids into motile sperms occurs because a sperm possesses many structures which are not typical to a spermatid.
All the structures confer motility to the sperm. After spermiogenesis, sperm heads are embedded in the Sertoli cell and finally released from the seminiferous tubule by the process of spermiation.
