Sperm motility: is viscosity fundamental to progress?

8 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

The success of internal fertilization is reliant upon successful sperm migration through the female tract. Timely location of the oocyte in what is a complex three-dimensional, highly invaginated series of moist opposed surfaces is a challenge at which only tens of sperm ever succeed. In part this could be due to the differences in scale, with a 50 µm long cell facing a probable migration of well over 20 cm due...
