Chapter 27, Problem 7RFT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term spermatogonia with the most closely related descriptions given below:
Link from scrotal chamber to peritoneal cavity
Stem cells that produce sperm
Compartment of the scrotum containing a testis
Site of lactation
Flagellum
Inner layer of the uterine wall
Enlarged portion of the uterine tube
Important estrogen hormone
Responsible for the production of androgens
Layer of smooth muscle deep to the dermis of the scrotum
Introduction:
The sperms are produced through spermatogenesis in the testicles. This process takes place in the seminiferous tubules of the testes and involves both the mitotic and meiotic cell divisions.
