What do you mean by spermiogenesis and spermiation?

Answer: Spermiogenesis is the process by which sperm is produced from spermatids.

Spermiation occurs after spermiogenesis, when the sperm head attaches towards the Sertoli cells as well as is supplied out from seminiferous tubules through a spermiation.

Each testicular lobule has a minimum of one and a maximum of three seminiferous tubules.

Male germ cells as well as Sertoli cells make up a single seminiferous tubule. Blood vessels as well as Leydig cells can be found on the outside of the seminiferous tubule.

The male sex hormones, collectively known as androgens, are produced in Leydig cells.

-Spermatogenesis: Spermatogonia will be found on the inner ceiling of a seminiferous tubule (immature male germ cell).
