IPA: //ˈspɜːrməri//
KK: /ˈspɜrməri/
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.
IPA: /ˌspɜːrməˈθiːkə/
KK: /spɜrˈmætɪkə/
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.
IPA: /spɜːrˈmætɪk/
KK: /spɜrˈmætɪk/
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.
IPA: //spɜːrˈmætɪd//
KK: /spɜrˈmætɪd/
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.
IPA: //spɜːrˈmeɪtiəm//
KK: /spɜrˈmeɪtiəm/
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.
IPA: //spɜːrˈmætəˌsaɪt//
KK: /spɜrˈmætəˌsaɪt/
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.
IPA: /ˌspɜːrmætəˈdʒɛnɪsɪs/
KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈdʒɛnɪsɪs/
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.
IPA: /ˌspɜːrmætəˈdʒɛnɪk/
KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈdʒɛnɪk/
Definition: Relating to the process of sperm production.
Example: The spermatogenic cells are essential for male fertility.
IPA: //spərˌmætəˈɡoʊniəl//
KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈgoʊniəl/
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.
IPA: //spɜːrˌmætəˈɡoʊniəm//
KK: /spɜrˌmætəˈgoʊniəm/
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.
