Question
Define spermiation.
Advertisements
Solution 1
Spermiation is the process of releasing mature spermatozoa. In this, spermatozoa are shed into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule for transport.
Solution 2
After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embeded in sertoli cells from which they obtain their nutrition and finally get released into the lumen of seminiferous tubules. This process of release of mature sperms from sertoli cells is called spermiation.
