Hormonal Regulation of the Male Reproductive System At the onset of puberty in males, the hypothalamus begins secreting high pulses of GnRH or gonadotropin-releasing hormone. In response, the pituitary gland releases follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) into the male system. Take a look at the…

Spermatogenesis Spermatogenesis occurs in the testes of males, and involves cell division by both mitosis and meiosis. Germinal epithelium cells divide by mitosis to produce diploid 1st degree spermatocytes which themselves divide by the first division of meiosis into haploid 2nd degree spermatocytes. These spermatocytes divide by meiosis…

Difference in between Gametogenesis and Meiosis Gametogenesis and MeiosisIs meiosis and gametogenesis same? Let us see. Meiosis is a cell division process wherein reduction division occurs causing chromosome number to be reduced to half the number. Gametogenesis is the process of production of gametes…
Difference in between Spermatogenesis and Spermiogenes Spermatogenesis and Spermiogenes Spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis are two stages that occur during the formation of the male gametes i.e. the sperms. The main difference between spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis is that spermatogenesis is the term…
