Seminiferous tubules contain epithelium consisting of Sertoli cells that envelop and support germ cells undergoing progressive differentiation and development into mature spermatozoa. Once released into the lumen, mature spermatozoa are transported within seminiferous tubules, which measure up to 70 cm in length and are tightly coiled within lobules of the testis, to the rete testis, the efferent ducts, the epididymis, and, finally, the vas deferens for ultimate ejaculation. The seminiferous tubules are surrounded by a basal lamina composed of extracellular matrix that serves to separate them from the interstitial compartment, provides structural integrity to the tubules, and regulates the function of cells in contact with it. Histologic examination of a testis biopsy specimen in cross section reveals many different seminiferous tubules
