The production of spermatozoa by the epithelium lining the seminiferous tubules of the testis is accomplished by a long and elaborate series of cytological transformations referred to as spermatogenesis. This process begins with the proliferation of spermatogonia by mitosis; then follows meiotic division of the spermatocytes with the resultant production of spermatids. These spermatids, without further division, transform slowly into spermatozoa which are subsequently released into the tubular lumen. This latter process of transformation is referred to as spermiogenesis. It is well known that spermatogenesis is under the influence of hormones.
