Spermatogenesis

Meaning

Spermatogenesis is the highly complex, continuous biological process occurring within the seminiferous tubules of the testes, responsible for the production of mature male gametes, or spermatozoa. This intricate sequence of cellular division and differentiation is fundamentally dependent on the precise hormonal control exerted by the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis. Optimal spermatogenesis is a critical measure of male reproductive health and endocrine function.
