The Terminal Segment of the Seminiferous Tubule: The Current Discovery of Its Morphofunctional Importance in Mammals

The morphophysiology of intratesticular sperm pathways in mammals, including humans, is poorly understood. The seminiferous tubule is continuous with the straight tubule; however, its final portion—the terminal segment (TS)—has a different tissue composition. This paper reviews the most important hi...
