how are the sperms released?

 

• 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.
