Gametogonium (plural gametogonia) are stem cells for gametes located within the gonads.[1] They originate from primordial germ cells, which have migrated to the gonads.[1] Male gametogonia which are located within the testes during development and adulthood are called spermatogonium (plural spermatogonia).[1] Female gametogonia, known as oogonium (plural oogonia),[1] are found within the ovaries of the developing foetus and were thought to be depleted at or after birth.[2] Spermatogonia and oogonia are classified as sexually differentiated germ cells.[3]
