Abstract
Cytoplasmic structures ultrastructurally similar to the nuage are present in the cytoplasm of all spermatogenic cells in adult rats. The nuage is a discrete organelle which should not be confused with the chromatoid body. In step 7-8 spermatids transient contact is established between the nuage by the chromatoid body. This indicates a very specific recognition of the nuage by the chromatoid body. It is suggested that the nuage and the chromatoid body are separate cell organelles the functions of which are somehow related to each other.Entities:
