i think the question is trying to ask" which cell has the highest mitotic activity" i think it is primary spermatocye..

Ya I think the same

 

[armorshell]

Is it "myoid" or "myeloid?"

the most radiosensitive tissues in the body are hematopoeitic(most commonly myeloid)/GI/germ cells n rapidily dividing tumor cells/lymphocytes.

i would go for myeloid and germ cells(primary spermatocytes).
pls correct me if i am wrong.
myeloid lukemias are the most important complication of radiation exposure other than giinflammations n ulcer/skin changes/ARDS/BONE MARROW DEPRESSION(FAILURE IN SEVERE RADIATION).

it s Myoid cell...these are cells that are around the seminoferous tubules in testis...

 

[jenjenmeow]

I guess myoid cells are muscle cells lining the seminiferous tubules... and muscle cells are less mitotic?

 

[Sinatra Frank]

yes they are.. much less then the ongoing process of spermatogenesis..
