Spermiogenesis is the process of transformation of a rounded, immature germ cell (spermatid) into a mature, motile spermatozoon (sperm cell). This process occurs in the testes, specifically in the seminiferous tubules, and is the final stage of spermatogenesis.
During spermiogenesis, the spermatid undergoes significant changes, including:
1. Condensation of chromatin into the head of the sperm
2. Formation of the acrosome and post-acrosomal region
3. Development of the tail (flagellum) and midpiece
4. Formation of the mitochondrial sheath
