Objective 71: How spermatatozoa moves through the female reproductve tract

The textbook was what I used to figure out how spermatozoa moved through the female reproductive tract. I found the picture below on a site that shows the path of the sperm as it traveled through the female reproductive tract. The textbook taught me that spermatozoa consists of a head, mid piece, and tail. The head of the sperm contains compacted DNA and an outer helmet like layer called the acrosome that helps pierce the egg for fertilization. The mid piece contains the mitochondria, which provides the ATP needed for the movements of the tail to jet the sperm along. The tail allows the sperm to move easily and help it to reach the egg.
