A QuickBasic computer model of spermatogenesis.
A program in QuickBasic has been written for the purpose of simulating spermatogenesis in any animal in order to more fully understand the dynamics of sperm production. Two basic informations are needed to run the program: controlling factors (CF-s) and the stem cell population size. These can be interactively manipulated for theoretical evaluations or be implemented from actual animal data for assessment of valid sperm yield.
