Development stages of the sperm in the seminiferous tubule are as illustrated above.
Seminiferous tubules are lined with sperm-forming cells (spermatogonia) in various
stages of development. Through the process of division, these cells form the cells called
"spermatid". At the final stage of these processes, the head and the tail sections of the
sperm are formed. After all these complex processes, the development of the male repro-
ductive cells, where the information relevant to the human being is stored, is completed.

their function to provide fructose, or if they produce it in insufficient qu-
antities, a sperm, even if it is mature in every way, will die after entering
the mother's uterus because it cannot find nourishment; and because it
cannot reach the egg, fertilisation will not occur.

This situation shows us a clear reality. The One Who has established
the connections between the organs and the cells is God. He has inspired
the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus, the Leydig and Sertoli cells, in
short, every element involved in the process, to act in a way that will as-
sure the production of sperm in the male body. He gives them the ability

to understand each other's language. Everything happens according to
God's command. As we read in the Qur'an:
