Give the full structure of humen male gamete (sperm cell)
Answers
Explanation:
The sperm cells are the haploid gametes which are produced in the male. There are different parts of the sperm cell.
(a) Acrosome: This structure contains enzymes used for penetrating the female egg.
(b) Nucleus: There is the genetic material which is a haploid genome because it contains only one copy of each chromosome.
(c) Middle piece: The middle piece has a central filamentous core with many mitochondria spiralled around it which is used for ATP production for the journey through the female cervix, uterus and uterine tube.
(d) Tail: There is a long tail which is used for swimming and reaching near the egg. !

Structure of sperm :
Structure of sperm:
Sperm is the male gamete. It is a motile,
microscopic elongated cell. It is divisible into
three parts- head, middle piece and tail.
contains hydrolytic enzymes; hyaluronidase
and proteolytic enzymes like zona lysins and
corona penetrating enzymes.
Neck: It is a very short region having two
centrioles i.e. proximal centriole and distal
centriole.
Middle piece: It has an axial filament
surrounded by 10-14 spiral turns of
mitochondria (nebenkern). It produces energy
necessary for the movement of sperm.
Tail: It is a long, slender and tapering part
containing cytoplasm and fine thread- axial
filament. The axial filament arises from the
distal centriole and travels through out the
length of tail. It is partly surrounded by plasma
membrane (main piece). The part without
plasma membrane is called end piece.
It is process of formation of the haploid
female gamete i.e. egg or ovum from the diploid
germinal epithelium. It involves the process of
meiosis (and mitosis). Like spermatogenesis,
oogenesis process can be divided into three
stages :
I. Multiplication phase
II. Growth phase
III. Maturation phase
Head: The sperm head is oval in shape and
contains haploid nucleus. Above the nucleus,
there is a cap like structure called acrosome.
It is formed from the golgi body.
