Figure 9.Ultrastructure: Lysosomal and autophagic activity around spermatozoa. A: autophagosome; Al: autolysosome; G: Golgi complex; H: Head of spermatozoa; L: lysosome, Mit: mitochondria; P: phagolysosome. Rectangular area showed enlarged area. Arrow: numerous concentric layers around spermatozoa, Sharp arrow: degenerate segment of spermatozoa, Arrowhead: lysosomal attachment with spermatozoa. Scale bar: (A–C) 1 μm.
