Document Summary
A: the union of male and female gametes. Q: major functions of male reproductive system (2) A: production of sperm + delivery of sperm to female. A: begins with a spermatogonium undergoes mitotic division into primary spermatocyte which under goes meiosis i created secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis ii creating spermatids which mature into spermatozoa. A: in the wall of the seminiferous tubules. A: in the lumen of the seminiferous tubule. A: sperm have tails spermatogonium (46 chromosomes) = 2n. A: to stop the contact with the blood.

A: at puberty the hypothalamus increases its stimulation of anterior pituitary with releasing gonadotropic hormones. A: in prostate and seminal vesicles; b/c testosterone is not very potent. A: the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to stop the fsh and sperm formation. A: sertoli cells extensive remodeling or packaging of cellular elements into spermatids.
