Student Project Figures Figure 8 Figure 8. This is an histological section of a hermaphrodite gonad illustrating the gonadal band with both well developed oocytes (o) and interspersed spermaries (s). The spermaries are at various stages of development, interestingly, oocytes typically develop at the same pace and quicker relative to spermaries in hermaphroditic species.
