The process of release of spermatozoa from Sertoli cells into cavity of the seminiferous tubules is called

Aspermiogenesis
Bspermatogenesis
Cspermatocytogenesis
Dspermiation.
Correct Answer

Solution

Following spermiogenesis (the process of transformation of spermatids to spermatozoa) the sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells and they are finally released from the seminiferous tubules. This process is called spermiation.
