Testes of the badger (Meles meles), obtained in Eastern Anatolia, were observed using light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). For this purpose, five adult badgers were used.
It was seen that testicular parenchyma consisted of lining cells of the seminiferous tubules and their ducts as well as interstitial cells. It was determined that the sertoli cells rest on the basal lamina of tubul. It was stated that they were relatively few in number and were spaced along the tubule. Their cytoplasm contained a number of mitochondria with different shape. Leydig cells were large and acidophilic cells. Spermatogonia were characterised by a large round or oval nucleus with condensed chromatin. Primary spermatocytes were the largest germ cells seen within the seminiferous tubule. The apical head of spermatid was entered to cytoplasm of sertoli cell. |
