I need help with my assignment on biology...very confusing!?

Question

Hey im doing a biology report on these cells and other things that have to do with mitosis process and meiosis process. Can ne body tell me what a spermatocyst is and what it does....and how is it useful in life...how does it have to do with the other cells.

NE BODY WHO IS ANSWERING THIS IS DOING A VERY GOOD FAVOUR FOR ME!!!

THNX SOO MUCH

BYE

Answer 1

WHAT IS IT?

It is a spermatocele and often called a

A spermatocele is a cyst that develops in the epididymis — the small, coiled tube situated in the upper t******e that collects and transports sperm. Generally painless and noncancerous, a spermatocele usually is filled with milky or clear fluid that may contain sperm.

Spermatoceles are small, usually less than a half-inch (less than 1 centimeter) in diameter, although some may be larger. Most of the volume of the cyst is fluid.

Spermatoceles are common, affecting as many as three in 10 American men. They typically don't impair fertility or require treatment. If a spermatocele grows large enough to cause discomfort, your doctor may suggest surgery.

HOW USEFUL IS IT?

Well its not really a problem either way because a spermatocele is unlikely to cause complications.

Sperm normally travel through the tubes of the epididymis. A blocked tube causes the sperm to die, which is why a spermatocele may be filled with dead sperm. However, even if one of the tubes that drain sperm is blocked, others remain open, allowing sperm through. So a spermatocele doesn't affect the overall transport of sperm or impair fertility. However, surgical removal may damage the epididymis or the vas deferens, a tube that transports sperm from the epididymis. Damage to either can impair fertility.

I HOPE I HAVE THE RIGHT THING, NOT SURE. BUT I TRIED ANYWAY,GOOD LUCK
