The spermatids are gradually transforms into mature sperm or spermatozoa by a process known as spermiogenesis.

These changes include:

  1. Loss of cytoplasm.
  2. Formation of acrosomes which covers half the nuclear surface, derived from the golgi region of spermatid contain enzymes that assist penetration of corona radiata and zona pellucida during fertilization
  3. Condensation of nucleus
  4. Formation of neck, middle piece, and tail
  5. The mitochondria arranged in the middle piece as mitochordial sheath

The time required for a spermatogonium to become a mature spermatozoon is approximately74 days
