The sperm cell (spermatozoan) itself doesn't reproduce, but combines with an egg (ovum) where the genetic material (chromosomes) in the sperm and the genetic material of the ovum combine to form a full compliment of chromosomes and under go mitotic division.
If you are asking physically where the spermatozoan goes to under go this process: in order for a successful fertilization to occur, the spermatozoan must make it all the way up the uterus through the isthmus to the correct falopian tube that is contains the ovum and fertilization occurs in a rounded area called the ampulla.
If you are asking how a spermatozoan is created:
the fully developed spermatozoan starts of as a spermatogonium in the testes where it develops with assistance from sertoli cells under the guidance of testosterone produced by Leydig cells. The spermatogonia under go mitosis and then meiosis 1/2 with the assistance of the sertoli cells and then are released into the testis. The production of immense ammounts of sperm creates a pressure gradient that forces the spermatids (note the name change) to move into the epididimis where they mature and learn to swim as spermatozoa.

Which terms are used for cells that are required for plants to reproduce sexually?
Sperm and egg
Do flowers reproduce through mitosis?
Flowering plants can reproduce through mitotic cell division, or asexual reproduction. However, the flowers are the sexual reproductive organs, producing egg cells and sperm cells. Egg cells are found in the ovary of a flower, and the sperm cells are found in the pollen. Therefore, flowering plants also undergo sexual reproduction when a sperm cell reaches an egg cell.
What is the Difference between a Sperm Cell and a Bacterium?
Sperm Cells are gametes or sex cells. They only have 23 chromosomes in humans & are 1 of 2 gametes that when joined form a zygote, a fertilized oocyte. They are used to reproduce. Sperm are not alive & only become living when 1 fertilizes an egg. Bacteria are living organisms that reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. Bacteria can live for weeks in contrast Sperm become useless with in a few minutes. The primary function of Bacteria is to reproduce, while the primary function of Sperm is to fertilize an ovum, & carry out the task of reproducing for the organism from which it originated.
Can cells reproduce without dividing?
no because the new cell would not have the necesarry DNA
What does cells reproduce?
if your asking how cells reproduce they can usually reproduce asexually[all by themselves].
What plant cells actually swim?
The sperm cells of the plant can swim. They swim to the egg cells to reproduce.
Which terms are used for cells that are required for plants to reproduce sexually?
Sperm and egg
The inability to reproduce because the sperm cells are unable to fertilize the egg is called?
sterility
Can you get an infection from sperm?
No. Sperm are not pathogens. Sperm are not viruses or bacteria. Sperm cannot reproduce themselves or hijack living cells in order to transcript its DNA or cause proteins to be produced.
Do flowers reproduce through mitosis?

Egg cells are found in the ovary of a flower, and the sperm cells are found in the pollen. Therefore, flowering plants also undergo sexual reproduction when a sperm cell reaches an egg cell.
What is a differents of sexual and asexual reproduction?
many plants can reproduce without sperm cell and and egg cells
What is different of asexual and sexual reproduction?
many plants can reproduce without sperm cell and and egg cells
Do spine cells reproduce asexually?
Spine cells do not reproduce asexually, infact the mitochondria of the male cells secret sperm that is absorbed through the cell membrane and then absorbed by the centrioles of the female cells. This tells the female cells to begin cell division. So though it is like normal cell division it is done sexually
What is need of sperm in body?
Sperm is needed to reproduce.
Do your brain cells reproduce?
No. Nerve cells do not reproduce.
