Figure 14. Longitudinal section <strong>of</strong> an egg emerging from a spermatheca in a female P. penetrans.<br />
Spermatozoa (Sp) remaining in spermatheca (S) after oocyte passage appear to be oriented toward the<br />
emerged egg (E). <strong>The</strong>ir electron-dense nuclei (N) and mitochondria adhere to the internal surface <strong>of</strong> the<br />
leading membrane <strong>of</strong> the spermatozoa. <strong>The</strong> membrane trailing the major body <strong>of</strong> the egg is intact and<br />
clearly separated from the spermatheca and its contents.<br />
