The seminiferous tubules are a network of tiny tubes located within the testes, responsible for producing sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis. These tubules are:
1. Long, thin, and tightly coiled
2. Located within the testicular lobules
3. Surrounded by a layer of peritubular cells and a basement membrane
4. Composed of a germinal epithelium, containing spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids, and sperm cells
5. Supported by Sertoli cells, which provide nutrients and structural support
6. Connected to the rete testis, a network of tubules that collect sperm from the seminiferous tubules
7. Responsible for producing over 100 million sperm cells daily
