Spermatogenesis describes the production of spermatozoa (sperm) in the seminiferous tubules of the testes The first stage of sperm production requires the division of germline epithelium by mitosis These cells (spermatogonia) then undergo a period of growth This is followed by two meiotic divisions that result in four haploid daughter cells These haploid cells then differentiate to form sperm cells The developing sperm cells are nourished throughout by the Sertoli cells
