Fig. 34. Spermatozoa Tail (EM)
A - A longitudinal section through the principal piece of a sperm tail, approximally in the plane passing through fibers 2 and 7 or 9 and 4 of the cross-section shown above. The section includes two doublets and one of the central pair of axonemal microtubules, two outer fibers and groups of partially fused ribs of the fibrous sheath.
B - A freeze cleaving preparation of the membrane on the side of the principal piece over the major compartment containing outer fibers 4 to 7. There is a high concentration of randomly distributed membrane intercalated particles.
C - A freeze-cleave preparation of the membrane on the side of the minor compartment containing fibers 9, 1 and 2. A double row of large particles runs longitudinally within the membrane overlying fiber number one. A slight thickening of the membrane at this site is evident (at the arrow) in the cross-section shown above.
