Seminiferous tubules - convoluted portion

Spermatogenesis has four phases: spermatocytogenesis (mitotic division of spermatogonia to primary spermatocytes); meiosis (a two-step division of primary spermatocytes to secondary spermatocytes to spermatids); spermiogenesis (cytodifferentiation of spermatids into mature spermatozoa); and spermiation (the release of sperm from Sertoli cells). 600X
