Figure 11. Longitudinal section <strong>of</strong> spermatheca <strong>of</strong> P. penetrans. <strong>The</strong> anterior boundary <strong>of</strong> the spermatheca<br />
(S) is surrounded by epithelial cells that are joined by membrane junctions (MJ). Spermatozoa<br />
(Sp) within the spermatheca contain electron-dense chromatin (C), mitochondria, and fihrHlar bundles<br />
(FB). <strong>The</strong> posteriad boundary <strong>of</strong> the spermatheca merges with enlarged columnar cells (CC) <strong>of</strong> the uterus.<br />
Columnar cells near the spermatheca contain enlarged electron-dense globules (EDG), numerous mitochondria,<br />
and ribosomes.<br />
