Expert Answer

Sperms are produced inside the testes of the male reproductive system.
The process of the formation of spermatozoa or sperms from spore mother cells or spermatogonia of the germinal epithelium lining the seminiferous tubules is called spermatogenesis.
It occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes of males.
Four sperms are formed from one single spermatogonium by meiotic cell division.
After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells. They are released from the seminiferous tubules by spermiation.
A structure called epididymis stores and nourishes the newly formed sperms.
The mature sperms then travel from epididymis through vas deferens into the ejaculatory duct.
From the ejaculatory duct, the sperms along with the secretions of the seminal vesicles travel through the urethra towards the penis.
During sexual intercourse, the penis transfers semen containing sperms into the reproductive tract of the female.
