Sperm cells are produced in the seminiferous tubules. Toward the lumen of the seminiferous tubules are layers of more and more mature sperm cells.

What is the site of the sperm maturation?
epididymis
Sperm maturation occurs in the?
Final maturation of sperm cells occurs in the epididyrhis. The site for sperm maturation is in the epididymis. The testes are used for the production of sperm and testosterone.
Where does the final maturation of a sperm cell occur?
In the epididymis.
Which hormone influence maturation of sperm?
Testosterone.
Sperm are formed from the direct maturation of?
Spermatogenesis
What structure provides the appropriate environment for sperm maturation?
epididymis
Site of storage and maturation of sperm?
Its the wonderful thing known as the testicles. The testicles produce sperm and store sperm.Actually, the testicles only produce sperm, they do not store it. Sperm is stored in the epididymis.
What effects would low FSH levels have on sperm production?
Follicle Stimulating Hormone stimulates follicle and egg maturation in females and stimulates sperm production and maturation in males. Therefore low levels of FSH slows spermatogenesis.
Which cells support the sperm maturation?
The Sertolli cells, which are located in the seminiferous tubules of the testis.
What 4 functions does a vertebrate's skeleton perform?
It provides support and protection while enabling movement. It functions to store calcium and phosphorus. It is the site of blood cell production in adults. It is the site of maturation of B-lymphocytes.
Does immature sperm cell implies that testes might produce mature cells in future?
Sperm cells have an immature stage in the testes and maturation occurs as the sperm move through the testicular system. There can be multiple reasons for ejaculate to contain immature sperm cells. The mechanical reason is high frequency of intercourse. Another reason for failure would occur in the epididymis where the Sertoli cells facilitate maturation. Causes can be adult mumps, hormonal issues, drugs/medication, radiation, genetic anomalies and excess heat.
What hormone leads to the maturation of both sperm and egg?
The first hormone that is involved in the maturation of the egg and sperm is the gonadotropin - releasing hormone(GnHR). This hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus, and it stimulates release of two gonadotropin hormones released by the pituatury gland. The leutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). And these two pituatury gland gonadotropins are the key hormones for the maturation of egg and sperm.
