spermatogonium

nounPlural spermatogoniaspəˌmatə(ʊ)ˈɡəʊnɪəmˌspəːmətə(ʊ)ˈɡəʊnɪəmspərˌmatəˈɡōnēəm
Biology
  • A cell produced at an early stage in the formation of spermatozoa, formed in the wall of a seminiferous tubule and giving rise by mitosis to spermatocytes.

    〔生〕精原细胞

    Example sentencesExamples
    • The primitive germinal cells are the spermatogonia, which lie peripherally in the tubule wall, outside the barrier of Sertoli cell junctions.
    • Males are consequently exposed to new antigens when spermatogonia mature, and the immune activity involved in the male reproductive system may lead to autoimmunity.
    • In the testis, these cells are termed the spermatogonia.
    • A primary spermatogonium surrounded by a pair of cyst cells undergoes four mitotic divisions, forming a cyst of 16 primary spermatocytes.
    • In severely degenerated tubules, only spermatogonia and Sertoli cells were observed, and pachytene spermatocytes sloughing into the lumen were observed.

Derivatives

  • spermatogonial

  • adjective
    Biology
    • Because they can now grow spermatogonial stem cells in culture, researchers have a ready source of cells that they could manipulate genetically, explained the study's senior author.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • In addition, the testes contained highly refractile cysts that most likely represent degenerating cysts of spermatogonial cells.
      • A maximum of 50 offspring were tested from each ENU-treated male to prevent the recovery of identical mutations from the limited population of spermatogonial stem cells.
      • In previous studies, longitudinal evaluation of F 2 chimeric males revealed evidence of chimeric drift with selection against the germline having a history of Type B spermatogonial irradiation.
      • At the apical end of the testes, stem cells divide to produce a spermatogonial cell that undergoes four rounds of mitosis to produce 16 primary spermatocytes.

Origin

Late 19th century: from sperm + modern Latin gonium (from Greek gonos 'offspring, seed').
