Electron Microscopic Studies on the Spermiogenesis of the Korean Cattle

한우의 정자완성에 관한 전자현미경적 연구

In order to investigate the spermiogenesis of Korean cattle spermatozoa, the tissue obtained from the testis and the epididymis of six matured bull were conventionary prepared as thin sections and these sections were observed under a transmission electron microscope. Based on the development of the various permanent organelles and certain transient structures, the spermiogenesis of the Korean cattle could be divided into four main phases: Golgi, cap, acrosome and maturation, and these phases had been further subdivided into a total of nine stages. In the maturation phase, the condensation of the nuclear karyoplasm had progressed from the u, pp.r side to the lower side of the nucleus as the movement of the nuclear ring which would be disa, pp.ared after maturation.
