Seminiferous tubules are the exocrine portion of the testis in which the spermatozoa develop and through which they leave the gland. These tubules are lined by a stratified epithelium that consists of germ cells at all stages of maturation,with the most mature cells lying closest to the central lumen, and  the supporting Sertoli cells.
