REPRODUCTOR MASCULINO

Fig. 19-1 Schematic

diagram of the normal
components
of the
testis. The Sertoli
cells, germ cells, and
interstitial endocrine
cells
are
closely
integrated,
and
considerable
messaging
occurs
between them. The
blood-testis barrier is
at the level of the
Sertoli
cells,
with
contributions from the
myoid
cells
and
basement membrane.
Spermatogonia are on
the interstitial side of
the
blood-testis
barrier.
