Spermiogenesis
• Spermatid elongates
• Golgi apparatus containing acrosomal granules forms
the head cap of sperm at the anterior pole.
• Nucleus condenses
• Centrosome migrates to posterior pole
- splits into two centrioles
- form axial sheath
• Mitochondria forms the mitochondrial sheath
• Cytoplasm rearranges as middle, principal and tail

• sperms gain motility in epididymis.
•Hormonal influence
