Where does spermatogenesis occur in the body?
Spermatogenesis takes place within the seminiferous tubules, which, in humans, are ~200 μm in diameter and have a total length of ~600 meters occupying ~60% of the testis volume (Fig. 136-1). The terminal ends of the seminiferous tubules in the mediastinum empty via straight tubular extensions termed tubuli recti.
Where do spermatogenesis and Spermiogenesis occur?
The entire process of spermatogenesis, spermiogenesis included, occurs in the coiled tubules called seminiferous tubules within the testes. After spermiogenesis, the non-motile spermatozoa leave the seminiferous tubule to reach the epididymis where it will become motile and stored for later release.
