Spermatogenesis:1. proliferation - spermatogonia2. growth – spermatocytes I (leptotehema, zygothema, pachithema, dyplothema)3. maturation – spermatocytes II 4. formation - spermatozoid
urethra zones: • Prostatic – transitional epithelium • Membranous – pseudostratified epithelium • Cavernosum – stratified squamous nonkeratinized
