15 Απρ 2024 · Sperm cells have specialized structures and enzymes within the acrosome which covers the head of the sperm. The acrosome contains enzymes that help in penetrating the protective layers of the egg. Once the sperm reaches the egg, these enzymes are released in a process called the acrosome reaction.
The acrosome is one of the main components of a sperm cell overlying the nucleus. It's located on the anterior part of the sperm head where it serves a number of important roles related to fertilization.
15 Μαΐ 2021 · A sperm cell or spermatozoon is a gamete (sex cell) produced in the male reproductive tract. It is a motile cell with a single aim – to fertilize a female egg. Each sperm cell contains the entire genome of the male that produces it.
A structure called the acrosome covers most of the head of the sperm cell as a “cap” that is filled with lysosomal enzymes important for preparing sperm to participate in fertilization. Tightly packed mitochondria fill the mid-piece of the sperm.
