Gambaran Mikroanatomi Spermatogenesis pada Musang Luak (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus)

Abstract

The study was conducted to observe the stages of spermatogenesis in the Asian palm civet. Testicular tissue collected from male Asian palm civet was processed histologically with staining Hematoxillin-Eosin. The eight stages of the seminiferous epithelium cycles were described using the tubular morphology method, which is based on the shape and location of the spermatid nuclei, the presence of meiotic divisions and the overall seminiferous epithelium composition. The relative frequency value of stages I-VIII were 7.23, 12.9, 18.36, 10.07, 11.26, 17.3, 13.5, and 9.72%, respectively frequencies for the pre-meiotic (stage I to III), meiotic (stage IV) and post meiotic (stage V to VIII) in this species were 38.49%,10.07%, and 51.43%, respectively.
