spermary

IPA: //ˈspɜːrməri//

KK: /ˈspɜrməri/

noun

Definition: A part of an animal's body where male reproductive cells are produced, particularly in invertebrates.

Example: The spermary is essential for the reproduction of many invertebrate species.

spermatheca

IPA: /ˌspɜːrməˈθiːkə/

KK: /spɜrˈmætɪkə/

noun

Definition: A storage pouch in the reproductive system of some female invertebrates, particularly insects, where sperm is kept until it is needed for fertilization.

Example: The female insect uses the spermatheca to store sperm after mating.

spermatic

IPA: /spɜːrˈmætɪk/

KK: /spɜrˈmætɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to or associated with sperm or the male reproductive system.

Example: The spermatic cord is essential for transporting blood and nutrients to the testicles.

spermatid

IPA: //spɜːrˈmætɪd//

KK: /spɜrˈmætɪd/

noun

Definition: A type of cell produced during the process of meiosis in males, which eventually develops into sperm cells.

Example: After meiosis, each spermatid matures into a sperm cell.

spermatium

IPA: //spɜːrˈmeɪtiəm//

KK: /spɜrˈmeɪtiəm/

noun

Definition: A type of cell that does not move and acts as a male reproductive cell in some red algae, fungi, and lichens.

Example: The spermatium is essential for the reproduction of certain red algae species.

spermatocyte

IPA: //spɜːrˈmætəˌsaɪt//

KK: /spɜrˈmætəˌsaɪt/

noun

Definition: A type of cell in male organisms that divides to produce sperm cells through a process called meiosis.

Example: The spermatocyte undergoes division to create sperm cells necessary for reproduction.

spermatogenesis

IPA: /ˌspɜːrmætəˈdʒɛnɪsɪs/

KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈdʒɛnɪsɪs/

noun

Definition: The process by which male reproductive cells, called sperm, are produced and developed in the male reproductive system.

Example: Spermatogenesis occurs in the testes and involves several stages of cell division and maturation.

spermatogenic

IPA: /ˌspɜːrmætəˈdʒɛnɪk/

KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈdʒɛnɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the process of sperm production.

Example: The spermatogenic cells are essential for male fertility.

spermatogonial

IPA: //spərˌmætəˈɡoʊniəl//

KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈgoʊniəl/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the early stages of sperm cell development in male organisms.

Example: The spermatogonial cells are crucial for the production of sperm in males.

spermatogonium

IPA: //spɜːrˌmætəˈɡoʊniəm//

KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈgoʊniəm/

noun

Definition: A type of cell found in the male reproductive organs that develops into sperm cells.

Example: The spermatogonium undergoes several stages of division to eventually form mature sperm.
