Page 9: Reproductive Male Female

Spermatogenesis

• Spermatogenesis: The production of

spermatozoa in the sertoli cells

• Spermiogenesis: Conversion of the

spermatids into spermatozoa

• Spermiation: Release of the

spermatazoon into the lumen

• Capacitation: Final maturation of the

spermatazoon in the female genital tract

Testosterone /effects

Page 58: Reproductive Male Female

Synthesis of the male sex hormones in Leydig

cells of the testis. P450SSC, 3b-DH, and

P450c17 are the same enzymes as those

needed for adrenal steroid hormone

synthesis. 17,20-desmolase is the same as

17,20-lyase of adrenal hormone synthesis..
