Spermatogenesis occurs in the seminiferous tubules, which are convoluted clusters of tubes located inside the testes. These tubules contain the germinal epithelium where sperm cells develop from spermatogonia into mature spermatozoa through mitotic and meiotic divisions and subsequent maturation stages
. After formation in the seminiferous tubules, sperm cells move to the epididymis where they mature and are stored until ejaculation
