The Generation of Sperm for Healthy Embryo Development
1:02:05 - 1:18:05 (16:00)
Spermatogenesis involves the creation of cells specialized in delivering genetic material to the female egg, ensuring healthy embryo and child development. Factors such as sperm quality, age, and temperature can impact the success of fertilization and pregnancy.

Spermatogenesis is the process of generating cells that deliver genetic material from the father to the egg in a way that increases the probability of a healthy embryo and adult.
1:07:36 - 1:13:16 (05:39)
Summary
Spermatogenesis is the process of generating cells that deliver genetic material from the father to the egg in a way that increases the probability of a healthy embryo and adult. It takes about 60 days for immature sperm to mature and FSH plays a role in stimulating the maturation process.

Summary
In order to maintain healthy sperm and avoid exposure to elevated temperatures, it is recommended to keep the scrotal tissue cool. Heat exposure can disrupt developing sperm and potentially harm their quality.
