spermatocyte

Examples of spermatocyte in the following topics:

• Spermatogenesis

  • Each primary spermatocyte divides into two secondary spermatocytes and each secondary spermatocyte into two spermatids or young spermatozoa.
  • Thus, the primary spermatocyte gives rise to two cells, the secondary spermatocytes, which in turn produce four spermatozoa.
  • Secondary spermatocytes later divide into haploid spermatids.
  • 2) Spermatidogenesis: The creation of spermatids from secondary spermatocytes.
  • Diagram of the steps of spermatocytogenesis, including type Ad spermatogonium, type Ap Spermatogonium, type B spermatogonium, primary spermatocyte, and secondary spermatocyte.

• Semen

  • Sertoli cells, which nurture and support developing spermatocytes, secrete a fluid into seminiferous tubules that helps transport sperm to the genital ducts.
