Topic: Spermatogonium


  
 [No title]
Pale spermatogonium A is characterised by relatively large cells with a pale-staining cytoplasm and nucleus.
Spermatogonium A is the continuous source of spermatogenic cells, self-renewal takes place by mitosis.
Spermatogonium B are large cells with pale-staining cytoplasm and nucleoplasm.

 Spermatogenesis
then only one spermatogonium proceeds through meiosis and we are still left with the same number of spermatogonia that we started with.
So the various cells in the progression from spermatogonium to spermatozoa lie in obvious layers through the tubules.
Please note that the lumen of the seminiferous tubule is at the top of this drawing, while the outer edge of the tubule is at the bottom.

 Physi
Sperms, the male gametes, are produced by the Leydig cells of the seminiferous tubules in the testes.
After a number of mitosis, differentiation begins to appear and the resultant daughter cell is called a primary spermatocyst which is ready to undergo meiosis.
One clone from each original spermatogonium escapes from the mitosis-differentiation cycle and reverts to a primitive spermatogonium which is capable to carry out its own cycle of mitosis later.

 Ed's Histology Notes: Male
The spermatogonium, the stem cell of the prepubertal child, becomes at puberty the type A spermatogonium which, at each division, gives rise to one type A spermatogonium (stays at the bottom, of course) and one type B spermatogonium which will become a bunch of primary spermatocytes.
Don't try to pick them out in sections; their nuclei are also wiggly-squiggly but smaller than those of primary spermatocytes (why?) They divide in turn, again by meiosis, but with no S-phase, to produce spermatids, easily recognizable by their location near the lumen and their small size.
All the progeny of one spermatogonium are supposedly connected by intercytoplasmic bridges until they become real sperms; this keeps them from sloughing off early.

 Spermatocyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A spermatocyte is a male gametocyte which is derived from a spermatogonium.
Initially, a spermatogonium divides by mitosis into two so-called primary spermatocytes.
A primary spermatocyte is also diploid, and, in turn, gives place by meiosis to two secondary spermatocytes, which this time are haploid.

 Spermatogenesis
The first comprises the cells from the spermatogonium up to and including the secondary spermatocyte and is termed spermatocytogenesis.
In the heteronymous division the cytoplasmic division is not completed; the daughter cells stay bound together through thin cytoplasmic bridges.
Also in the subsequent meiosis the cytoplasmic division is incomplete, so that from one spermatogonium a network of daughter cells arises that doubles in size in each generation.

Functional demonstration of the ability of a primary spermatogonium as a stem cell by tracing a single cell destiny in Xenopus laevis.
In Xenopus, although primary spermatogonium (PG), the largest cell in the testis, is believed to be spermatogonial stem cell by histological observations, functional evidence has never been obtained.
These results suggested that isolated PG from the cultured testes had the ability as stem cells, and that purification of the spermatogenic stem cells became reliable in Xenopus.

 THE INTERACTIVE FLY, Drosophila
These three stem cells undergo unequal cell divisions: the parental stem cells remain attached to the hub, while the three daughter cells (one spermatogonium and two cyst cells) detach and initiate a program of differentiation (Castrillon, 1993).
This group of three daughter cells, one germline and two somatically derived cells, is the early cyst.
The transformation of a single spermatogonium to 64 sperm occurs within a thin envelope formed by two cyst cells.

GnRH binds to receptors on the surface of Leydig cells and via a calcium second messenger system, testosterone production and secretion is increased.
In the bull, spermatogenesis involves the mitotic divisions of the sequence: Spermatogonium A to I to B and finally a primary spermatocyte.
In the bull, there is the potential to produce 64 round spermatids from each type A spermatogonium that enters into spermatogenesis.

 SparkNotes: SAT Biology: Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis
The basic function of spermatogenesis is to turn each one of the diploid spermatogonium into four haploid sperm cells.
During interphase before meiosis I, the spermatogonium’s 46 single chromosomes are replicated to form 46 pairs of sister chromatids, which then exchange genetic material through synapsis before the first meiotic division.
First of all, oogenesis only leads to the production of one final ovum, or egg cell, from each primary oocyte (in contrast to the four sperm that are generated from every spermatogonium).

 Spermatogenesis - Male reproductive physiology
As a single spermatogonium divides and matures, its descendants remain tied together by cytoplasmic bridges until the late spermatid stage.
The estimated number of spermatids formed from a single spermatogonium is 512.
In humans, it takes an average of 74 days to form a mature sperm from a primitive germ cell by this orderly process of spermatogenesis.

 Gametogenesis Summary
Primordial germ cells are the stem cells that, via mitosis, supply both spermatogonia and oogonia.
In humans, spermatogenesis starts with a diploid (2N) spermatogonium that carries the full genetic compliment of 46 chromosomes (22 autosomal pairs, one X and one Y sex chromosomes).
The spermatogonium represents the germ cell line from which all sperm cells are derived.

Individual sperm develop within the testicles from a cell called a spermatogonium.
The spermatogonium divides to produce spermatocytes, which then develop into spermatids.
The spermatid develops its familiar tail and the cell gradually acquires the ability to move by beating its tail.

A single spermatogonium enters the first meiotic division as a primary spermatocyte.
Consequently, four haploid sperm result from each diploid spermatogonium.
The utilization of all four haploid cells in the male is significant because the testis must produce millions of sperm simultaneously.
