Sperm structure and its relevance to infertility. An electron microscopic study
Abstract
In this article, I review the submicroscopic organization of the human spermatozoon, the functional role of its individual organelles in motility, penetrating ability, and fusogenic and fertilizing competence, and its pathology as a cause of male infertility.
