What else can I help you with?
Does every men produce sperm?
No. Unlike women who are born with eggs, men only begin to produce sperm in the testes during / after puberty.
What is the effect of castration on hormone before puberty?
The male hormone testosterone is manufactured in the Testes. At puberty a boy's Testes begin to make testosterone as well as sperm. Castration is the name given to the removal of the Testes. It therefore follows that if a boy is castrated and his Testes are removed he will never be able to produce sperm or Testosterone and so will never actually experience puberty. In cases where an early puberty would limit growth, growth hormone can be administered as it will accelerate growth and to some extent suppress GnRH release in the hypothalamus.
Where in the testes do sperm begin development and where in the testes do they mature?
Sperm begin development in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, where spermatogenesis occurs. They then mature in the epididymis, a coiled tube located on the back of each testicle.
Which gland produces sperm?
In males, the testes produce sperm cells. The female gametes, ova, are formed in the ovaries. Whereas the testes produce the male gamete from puberty onwards, girls are born with all their ova, which develop as they pass through the ages of puberty.
How can you produce sperm?
You can produce sperm in your semen once puberty has begun. Before puberty begins you will not be able to produce semen. The testes will produce the sperm when the secondary sexual characteristics are ready.
Is there any pain or discomfort when your balls drop?
The testes don't actually drop at all, therefore there will be no pain or discomfort. When a boy is born his testicles descend into the scrotum. At Puberty his testes begin to grow bigger and hang lower from the body. This is in readiness for sperm to begin being released. The sperm must be kept at an ideal temperature to be healthy and to do this the scrotum will descend and retract. 'When your balls drop' is just a figure of speech given for male Puberty beginning.
Can an Eleven yer old have sperm?
Yes it is possible. The normal range over which boys start puberty is from 9 years of age until the late teens. On average most boys start puberty around 12 or 13 years of age. Puberty in boys generally lasts for around 6 years. The testes begin to grow early in puberty and it is quite normal for a boy to begin to produce sperm a year or so after begining puberty. So if a boy started puberty at age 9 or 10 he could be producing sperm by the time he was 11 years old.
Is Sperm present in the testis at birth?
According to my science book: In the father, yes. In the newborn, no. This is because it has not entered puberty.
When does a boy know they have sperm?
Boys start producing sperm in their semen once they have started puberty. It may take a while for the production to begin but it will have by the time puberty has ended.At first masturbation will produce a small amount of clear watery sticky fluid on ejaculation, this will be the Semen. As he gets further into puberty this will change into a thicker whiter/creamy fluid which the sperm is transported in.Boys bodies do not begin to produce sperm until they have begun puberty. The age at which boys begin puberty is very variable and differs from one boy to another. Any age between around 9 years of age and 16 is considered to be within the normal range for puberty to start although on average most boys begin puberty around 11 or 12 years of age. They generally begin to produce sperm around a year after puberty has begun.Immature germ cells (spermatogonia) are dormant in the boys testes from fetal life. They do not divide and mature into sperm until Puberty has begun. Sperm will not be able to be ejaculated through masturbation until a boy is underway into puberty.
Sperm and egg cell maturity begin at?
It begins at puberty.
Are there any ways to speed up puberty mainly making sperm?
No. The process of puberty turns a child from a boy into an adult male. The most important of the changes that takes place is that during puberty a boy's testes will begin to produce sperm. The age that this happens at is different for each boy and the order that the other changes happen in can be different from one boy to another. One boy may have hairs in his armpits but not be able to produce sperm but another boy maybe the opposite. Generally speaking though most boys begin to produce sperm when they are around 12 to 14 years old.
When do males undergo meiosis?
Males undergo meiosis during spermatogenesis, the process by which sperm cells are produced in the testes. Meiosis occurs in the testes to create haploid sperm cells that each have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
