Abstract
The differentiation from early spermatid to spermatozoon is described with special emphasis on the formation of the helix of chromatin and mitochondrial junctions. The role of microtubules in morphogenesis is discussed. New observations on the role of the recently described spermatheca are presented; phagocytosis and digestion of spermatozoa are proven, and the various origins of the sperm found in the spermatheca are specified.Keywords
