how does the sperm reach the ovum?
Sperm is a male gamete produced in testis after puberty in males.
During its passage, sperm mix with fluids produced by nearby glands and formed as semen. Millions of sperms present in semen. Sperms can swim with their tail. Sperm duct is a muscular tube that carries sperms from the Testis to the urethra. When semen passes through the urethra, the muscles near the bladder contract and prevent urine and semen from mixing. After copulation, the semen leaves the male body through the penis into the female reproductive system. It passes through the vagina to the female uterus and fertilizes the ovum in the fallopian tube – the oviduct. Oviduct is a muscular tube that carries the fertilized egg to the uterus for the further development.
