Answer:

Spermiogenesis

Explanation:

Spermiogenesis is the stage during which the haploid spermatids are matured into sperms. It does not include any cell division.

The process of spermiogenesis includes elongation of spermatids and formation of acrosome at the top of its nucleus. A flagellum develops to make it a motile cell. There is an increase in the number of mitochondria while the excess of the cytoplasm is released outside.

All these events mature the haploid spermatid into a sperm cell having the capacity to reach and fertilize the egg.

EXPLAIN why the 4 cells at the end of cytokinesis are different from each other

<h3><em>Answer:</em> </h3>

<u>Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells. Mitosis and each of the two meiotic divisions result in two separate nuclei contained within a single cell. Cytokinesis performs an essential process to separate the cell in half and ensure that one nucleus ends up in each daughter cell. Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase. A ring of protein filaments called the contractile ring forms around the equator of the cell just beneath the plasma membrane. The contractile ring shrinks at the equator of the cell, pinching the plasma membrane inward, and forming what is called a cleavage furrow. Eventually, the contractile ring shrinks to the point that there are two separate cells each bound by its own plasma membrane. </u>

Rapid water movement between the extracellular fluid and the intracellular fluid is termed?

Rapid water movement between the extracellular fluid and the intracellular fluid is termed as Fluid Shift

<h3>How does the fluid shift works and affect the body?</h3>

When bodily fluids transfer across the fluid compartments, fluid shifts happen. Hydrostatic pressure gradients and osmotic pressure gradients work together physiologically to cause this. Water will passively travel from one area to the next through a semipermeable barrier until the hydrostatic and osmotic pressure gradients are equal. Fluid changes can result from a variety of medical problems. Critical organs like the brain, heart, and kidneys are put at risk when fluid shifts out of the blood vessels (the intravascular compartment), the cells (the intracellular compartment), the interstitial space, the cells (the intracellular compartment), the intracellular space, the cells (the intracellular compartment), and the brain cells (the intracellular compartment). When fluid shifts into the brain cells, it can cause a stroke.
