Document Summary
Anatomy of the male reproductive system which the sperm are formed. Testis is made of tightly coiled seminiferous tubules those are the structures in. The sperm are made there, and all the sperm are eventually transported from their site of differentiation in the seminiferous tubules, to the epididymis , then into the vas deferens , and then out to the . Epididymis and tubules are similar in morphology. Seminiferous tubules begin to develop by the aggregation of somatic (sertoli) cells enclosing germ cells. Tissue structures then grown down from the overlying surface endothelium and separate the seminiferous tubules from one another. There is some mechanism that ensures that the sertoli cells and germ cells aggregate in such a way that they form a tube , and not a cluster. Moreover, the germ cells are not required for the sertoli cells to form these structures. they can form these structures inherent property that.
