Abstract
The germinal epithelium of the testis is composed of different cell types which constantly undergo changes through a complicated combination of proliferation, differentiation and renewal. Clermont has postulated (1–3) that human germ cells are systematically arranged into six basic stages, and has proposed models for the development and renewal of spermatogonia in man. On the other hand other authors have stated that the cellular division and combinations in the human testis lack the synchronism and steadiness which is seen in other mammals (4–6).
