Description

Figures 206 (upper) and 207 (lower) from Chapter 6 (Golgi Apparatus) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. During development of the acrosome in the chinchilla spermatid, the transitional zone between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus is particularly apparent. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
