Spermiogenesis is the process of transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa (sperms). Four sperms are formed from one spermatogonium by the differentiation process. After spermiogenesis, sperm head becomes embedded in the Sertoli cells and are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation.
