FORM OF GOLGl 



93 



The reticulate form appears to be more or less typical of 

 vertebrates (Fig. 52, A. B). It has been so described recently by 

 Bowen in gland cells (10, a-d), where hypertrophy and eventually 

 fragmentation may occur ; by Ludford and Cramer in the thyroid 

 gland and in intestinal cells (23, 81) ; by Brambell in the oviducal 

 glands of the fowl (16) ; by Ludford in various cancerous growths 



Fig. 52. — Diagrams to illustrate the form and structure of the Golgi 

 apparatus. A and B, Golgi net-work in gland cells of the cat 

 (after Bowen (10) ). C, Golgi platelets in the oocyte of Liun- 

 bricHS (after Harvey (44) ). D, Golgi spheres or vesicles in the 

 oocyte of the spider (after Nath (99) ). E and F, Golgi rods or 

 batonnettes in spermatocytes of (E) Helix and (F) Cavia (after 

 Gatenby (30) ). G, Golgi apparatus ; /, idiosome ; M, mito- 

 chondria ; N, nucleus ; Y, yolk. 



w^here fragmentation may occur during the cell cycle (80) ; by 

 Curry in the tubules of the mesonephros in Necturus maculosus (25), 

 and by others. 



In the invertebrates the typical condition appears to be as a 

 group, collected or diffuse, of isolated bodies which have been 

 variously described as rodlets, platelets or spheres (Fig. 52, C-E).
