The process of spermatogenesis involves the following steps: (1) a diploid spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I to split into 2 haploid secondary spermatocytes; (2) the secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II to form 4 haploid spermatid cells; (3) the spermatid cells undergo spermiogenesis, where they grow a flagellum and develop the structures of the sperm head to become spermatozoa; (4) the spermatozoa are released into the epididymis to complete maturation and gain motility.
