Where does sperm gain motility?

Solution

Sperms:

  1. Male gametes are referred to as sperms.
  2. Sperm have a body with a long tail, a neck, and a head.
  3. The entire sperm body is enclosed by the plasma membrane.
  4. The head contains the acrosome apically, which contains enzymes that facilitate sperm entry into the ovum. Thereafter, an expanded nucleus ( haploid) follows.
  5. Numerous mitochondria can be found in the central portion, which provides the sperm with the energy it needs to move.
  6. The tail, a flagellum that extends from the cell body, is what gives sperms their robust motility.
  7. Sperms can swim to the ovum with the help of their tails.

Sperm motility:

  1. Sperm motility is the ability of sperm to move properly through the female reproductive system.
  2. The epididymis is the male sex accessory ducts.
  3. Sperm cells develop motility in the epididymis.
