The+Structure+of+a+Sperm+Cell

The by-product of spermatogenesis is of course, a sperm cell. How exactly is a sperm cell structured you may ask? Well this is how.

Let's go from the bottom up. First up is the axoneme. Pretty much it's composed of the flagella which helps movement. Next we have the mitochondria which is no stranger when it comes to cells. These two parts make up the tail which propels the sperm to find the eggs and attempt to fertilize said egg. Now the head of the sperm consists of the acrosome, membrane, and nucleus. The nucleus contains all the DNA and genetic information like in any other cell. The cell membrane covers the nucleus like in all other cells. Something that the sperm has that makes it unique is the acrosome. It has chemicals which is able to penetrate through the covering of the egg.
