dc.description.abstract | Mature spermatozoa from the seminal vesicles of adult Agriolimax reticulatus have been studied by means of phase contrast and electron microscopy; sperm were either live, or sectioned or mounted whole and shadowed with gold. The cell is of the typical pulmonate sperm type with a simple acrosome and a spiral nucleus comprising the head, and a tail which is ensheathed along its entire length by mitochondrion. The 9 peripheral fibrils of the axial complex show no indication of a double nature. Within the spermatheca or “gametolytic gland” breakdown of sperm occurs; the nucleus and axial fibre bundle of the flagellum survive the longest. The complexity of the flagellum and the relative simplicity of the acrosome are discussed in light of the ecology of the spermatozoa. Many problems concerning the functional physiology of the sperm organelles remain to be investigated. | en_US |
