The maturation changes in morphology were studied with the spermatozoa collected from the testis and three successive parts of the epididymis in Korean native Cattle. Acrosomal granules were observed in the testis. Avoiding the cap and acrosome phases, the tail base and the striated column of the neck were formed in spermatides. The volume of the acrosome was decreased during transit from the testis to the epididymis. The cell membranes were also separated from the acrosome or damage during the spermatozoan passage through successive parts of the reproductive tract. Cytoplasmic droplets were observed in the spermatozoa collected from various parts of the reproductive tract.

본 연구는 개량조개과에 속하는 동죽, Mactra veneriformis, 개량조개, M chinensis, 북방대합, Spisula sachalinensis, 왕우럭, Tresus keenae을 대상으로 정자의 미세구조를 조사하였다. 조사한 4종 모두 primitive type의 정자를 가지고 있었다. 첨체모양은 4종 모두 유사한 형태로 첨체의 앞쪽은 전자밀도가 낮은 부분 (elp)이고, 첨체의 뒤쪽은 전자밀도가 높은 부분 (edp)로 나누어지는 변형된 모자모양이다. 4종의 정자의 핵 모양은 상대적으로 차이가 있어 구분이 가능하며, 특히 Mactra 속의 2종은 핵의 모양이 서로 유사하다. 그리고 정자의 중편부를 구성하고 있는 미토콘드리아수는 4종 모두 4개로 나타났다. 개량조개 과 조개의 정자형태는 종 특이성을 가지고, 특히 첨체는 다른 과의 조개류와 다른 과수준의 특이성으로 판단된다.

Ultrastructural study of the development of the atrioventricular (AV) node was studied by electron microscopy in human fetus ranging from 30 mm to 260 mm crown rump length, and compared with human adult. By 30 mm fetus, the right AV nodal primordium was located below the attachment of the right venous valve. The left AV nodal primordium was observed below the attachment of septum primum. The cytoplasm of the nodal primordia contained few mitochondria, and myofibrils. These cells were apposed to each other with occasional desmosomes. In 40 mm fetus, the AV node cells were poorly organized myofibrils, while working myocardial cells were well organized myofibrils with sarcomere. At 70 mm fetus, intercalated discs were developed in the working myocardial cells. At 100 mm fetus, the nodal cells contained a relatively clear cytoplasm with a few groups of myofibrils and mitochondria. By $140\sim200$ mm fetuses, the nodal cells were an increasing number of myofibrils and mitochondria and these were scattered throughout the cytoplasm. At 260 mm fetus, the nodal cells were small and contained a clear cytoplasm with sparse and poorly organized myofibrils and mitochondria. All major ultrastructural features which characterize the adult AV nodal cells were found in this stage. The working myocardial cells were larger and had a more compact cytoarchitecture than nodal cells. Zonula adherens or fasciae adherens type junction were not found between nodal cells, but they frequently observed between nodal and working myocardial cells.
