GOLGI BODIES, ETC. 



737. Cytoplasmic Inclusions in Gametogenesis. In the table 

 below is a summary of the fixing an(i staining reactions of the 

 inclusions during oogenesis and spermatogenesis. In the male 

 germ cells the Golgi apparatus (nebenkern bodies) show through- 

 out ; those of the egg can generally only be demonstrated by 

 methods 1 and 2. If yolk granules contain olein or such un- 

 saturated fat they will stain in OsO^ like fat, but by slow 

 decolorisation as in paragraph 2 (with turpentine) their proteid 

 basis will be noted and they will generally be demonstrated in 

 methods 1 and 4, while fat vacuoles disappear completely. See 

 also the special sections on " Fat " §§ 648 to 665.
