1. I. Differentiation
One term that may need clarification is differentiation. A differentiated cell is one that is specialized functionally and/or morphologically (structurally); it can be considered a mature cell, or end cell, in a population. An undifferentiated cell has few specialized morphologic or functional characteristics; it is an immature cell whose primary function is to divide, thus providing cells to maintain its own population and to replace mature cells lost from the end cell population. Undifferentiated cells can be considered precursor, or stem, cells in a population.
An example of a tissue that contains a series of cells in various stages of differentiation is the testis. The spermatozoon is the mature, nondividing cell that is morphologically and functionally specialized. I lowevcr, since mature sperm are periodically lost, more cclls must replace them. These cells, also present in the testis, are immature type A spermatogonia; their principal function is to divide and supply the cells that will maturate into spermatozoa. The spermatozoan is a differentiated cell; it is the end cell in the population. The spermatogonium is an undifferentiated cell — the stem cell for the mature spermatozoan. The
