Proacrosomal vesicles form during the pachytene stage, being synthetized by the Golgi complex in Glycymeris sp., and by both the Golgi and the rough endoplasmic reticulum in Eurhomalea rufa. During early spermiogenesis, a single acrosomal vesicle forms and its apex becomes linked to the plasma membrane while it migrates. In Glycymeris sp., the acrosomal vesicle then turns cap-shaped (1.8 µm) and acquires a complex substructure. In E. rufa, proacrosomal vesicles differentiate their contents while still at the premeiotic stage; as the acrosomal vesicle matures and its contents further differentiate, it elongates and becomes longer than the nucleus (3.2 µm), while the subacrosomal space develops a perforatorium. Before condensation, chromatin turns fibrillar in Glycymeris sp., whereas it acquires a cordonal pattern in E. rufa. Accordingly, the sperm nucleus of Glycymeris sp. is conical and elongated (8.3 µm), and that of E. rufa is short and ovoid (1.1 µm). In the midpiece (Glycymeris sp.: 1.1 µm; E. rufa: 0.8 µm), both species have four mitochondria encircling two linked orthogonal (Glycymeris sp.) or orthogonal and tilted (30-40°; E. rufa) centrioles. In comparison with other Arcoida species, sperm of Glycymeris sp. appear distinct due to the presence of an elongated nucleus, a highly differentiated acrosome, and four instead of five mitochondria. The same occurs with E. rufa regarding other Veneracea species, with the acrosome of the mature sperm strongly resembling that of the recent Mytilinae.
A palavra Folclore, como se sabe, é o aportuguesamento da expressão inglêsa Folk-lore, em que folk significa "povo", e lore, "ciência, saber". Embora o tèrmo sugerido por Thomas fòsse a princípio combatido, por parecer desnecessário e não se ajustar rigorosamente às finalidades dessa importante disciplina, como correspondente do vocábulo alemão Volkskunde, que nós designávamos, aproximadamente, por "tradições populares", a verdade é que êle foi aos poucos conquistando a simpatia dos estudiosos, estando hoje, podemos dizer, universalmente aceitow. É que os domínios das investigações folclóricas ainda estavam mal definidos e iam confundir-se com os de outras ciências afins.Mas, como os métodos de pesquisa dessa natureza adquiriam maior amplitude e tendiam para um campo de fronteiras menos imprecisas« 2 ', pósto que ainda não bem delimita-(1) -Cf.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
