Sperm in the Mammalian Female Reproductive Tract: Surfing Through the Tract to Try to Beat the Odds

31 Oct 2023

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian sperm are deposited in the vagina or the cervix/uterus at coitus or at artificial insemination, and the fertilizing sperm move through the female reproductive tract to the ampulla of the oviduct, the site of fertilization. But the destination of most sperm is not the oviduct. Most sperm are carried by retrograde fluid flow to the vagina, are phagocytosed, and/or do not pass barriers on the pathway to...
