The production of sperm
■ Sperm is made in the two testes held in the scrotal sac.
■ Each testis is made of a set tiny of tubes called SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES.
■ The tubules contain cell which divide by a special process called MEIOSIS.
■ These cells divide and form the sperm cells
2
Production of sperm
■ 'Nurse cells' are special cells in the testes which provide nutrients for the developing sperm.
■ When the sperm a fully developed, they are transported to the epididymis, a coiled tube at the outer edge of the testis.
■ Here the sperm are matured and stored for a short time.
