Abstract
In the course on an investigation on lizard spermiogenesis, we have observed events connected with the differentiation of the acrosome and middle-piece of the spermatozoa. Some differences from other reptilians were found as well as: the presence of a subacrosomal space, the absence of the fibrous sheath in the middle-pice and a very short neck in the mature spermatozoa.Keywords
