Andrology and Reproductive Techniques: Spermiation

Spermiation

SPERMIATION

Release of formed germ cells into lumen of the seminiferous tubules is known as spermiation

Elongated spermatids are gradually extruded into the lumen of the tubule

Extrusion continues until only a slender stalk of cytoplasm connects the neck of the spermatid to the residual body

Breakage of the stalk results in formation of cytoplasmic droplet in the neck region of the released spermatozoa (proximal droplet) and retention of interconnected residual bodies

Residual body are disposed by sertoli cells
