Extrusion of the residual body in spermatids of Ancylostoma caninum (Nematoda, Strongyloidea).

Abstract:

:Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the spermatocytes of the hookworm Ancylostoma caninum contain an abundance of Golgi complexes, ribosomes, specialized membranous organelles, and long strands of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles remain abundant until the early spermatid stage of sperm development, when they reach their maximum abundance and maturity and the production of new ones ceases. Golgi complexes, ribosomes, and excess SER, which are not functional after this stage, become segregated and confined to the posterior portion of the spermatid in a polar lobe. Later, the polar lobe together with excess cytoplasmic matrix is bound by a membrane and dissociated from the spermatid as a residual body. The spermatid is then devoid of Golgi complexes and ribosomes. Formation of residual bodies as sperm cells mature may be considered a type of cell excretion.
