Seminiferous tubules - convoluted portion

Primary spermatocytes, the largest cells in the spermatogenic lineage, form from mitotic division of spermatogonia in the basal compartment. Primaries migrate through the blood-testis barrier and enter a prolonged period of prophase of meiosis I. Primary spermatocytes complete meiosis I, the reductional phase, to produce haploid secondary spermatocytes. 1000x
