Studies on Spermatogenesis in Japanese Quail(Coturnix coturnix japonica)
메추리(Coturnix coturnix)의 정자 발생에 관한 연구
Abstract
This study was conducted to observe 1) the changes of cellular association in seminiferous tubles from 2 to 8 weeks of age, and 2) the cycle phenomena of seminiferous epithelia at 14 weeks of age in Japanese quail. Total 80 birds were examined at a week interval from 2 to 8 weeks, and 14 weeks of age. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The body and testis weights showed most prominent increase during 4 to 5 weeks and 6 to 8 weeks of age respectively. And also the diameters of seminiferous tubles were abruptly enlaged during 6 to 8 weeks of age. 2) Genocytes in the seminiferous tubles were still in existence at 3 weeks of age, however they did not come out after 4 weeks of age. Spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes and spermatids made their first arpearances in the seminiferous from 3, 4 and 6 weeks of age, respectively. Spermatozoa were observed for the first time at 7 weeks of age, but full spermatogenic activity was completed from 8 weeks of age. 3) At 14 weeks of age, the average weight at testis was 3.7g and its ratio to the body weight was approximately 3.0 percent. And at this age, average diameter of seminiferous tubules was 192.08
본 연구는 일본메추리의 성장과정 중 세정관내 세포조성의 변화양상과 성숙시(14주령시)세정관의 상피적기 및 주기내 각기의 출현빈도를 관찰ㆍ구명코저 한 것이다. 육성중인 숫메추리 집국에서 2주부터 8주까지 매주령과 14주령에 각각 10수씩 무작위 추출해 제반사항을 조사하였으며 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 체중은 4적부터 5주령사이, 정소중양과 세정관의 관경은 6주부터 8주령사이에 급성장하였다. 2. 배아세포는 2~3주령에 관찰되었고 4주령 이후에는 출현되지 않았다. 정조세포는 I형과 I형 모두가 3주령부터 출현되었고 정모세 포는 4주령, 정자세포는 6주령 이후에 출현되었다. 정자는 7주령에 처음으로 관찰되었으나 완성된 정자의 사출은 8주령부터였다. 3. 성숙시(14주령시)의 정소중양은 평균 3.7g이였고 체중에 대한 정소중양비율은 약 3%였다. 4. 성숙시 세정관의 관경은 평균 192.08
