Abstract excerpt
Sperm acrosome is known to play a role in the fertilization of the majority of animal species studied. As a general rule, the acrosome appeared as soon as the fertilization occurred out of aquaeous phase. The biochemical content of acrosome as well as its release mode could suggest it is a simple lysosome. But this would by pass its important morphogenic role in spermiogenesis. Its development is strongly linked...
