The reaction of alkaline phosphatase is basal in the initial, middle and terminal segments. Adenosine triphosphatase showed intense reaction in the apical protion, whereas, for glucose 6-phosphatase, the activity was basal in the middle and terminal segments. Intense reaction for succinate dedydrogenase noted in sperms and edididymal cells.
