The form and size of the spermatozoa present great variations. They always consist of a modified cell, frequently of a very small cell with a long nagellum, nucleus, and remains of protoplasm. In many cases the head is elongated into a fibre-like structure, or is twisted like a corkscrew (Birds, Selachians). Sometimes a distinct head is absent, and the spermatozoon is thread-like (Insects). In the Nematodes the sperm-.
