Description
A comparison of testicular biology in animals and humans is required to understand the formation of normal spermatozoa and the production of steroidal and non-steroidal substances for regulatory mechanisms. This book presents a review of structure, functions and intercellular communications

- mesozoa, platyhelminthes, nemertina, gnathostomulida, gastrotricha, kinorhyncha, nematoda, rotifera, acanthocephala, priapulida, polyzoa, phoronida, echiura, annelida, chaetognatha, pogonophora and tardigrada
- arthropoda and onychophora
- mollusca
- echinodermata and hemichordata
- urochorda and cephalochordata
- vertebrata. Part 3 Comparative structure, chemistry and functions of accessory somatic (or sertoli) cells: comparative structural and chemical characteristics
- comparative functional characteristics. Part 4 Intercellular communication: interactions (or communication) among somatic cells and germ cells
- general conclusions and future perspectives.
