What is the shortest cell in human body?
There are a number of contenders for the position of smallest cell in the human body. The head of the sperm is on average 5 to 6 micro meters. The flagellum is up to 50 micrometers long. Also some says Granule Cell of the Cerebellum is the smallest cell of the human body it is approximately 4um to 4.5um in size. The size of the RBC also found as around 5 micrometers. In terms of volume most of the scientists suggest that sperm is the smallest cell.
How long does a human sperm travel to the egg?

In the male the important function of the epididymis are?
They store sperm. The testes containing the seminiferous tubules are the sites of spermatogenesis (making the sperm cells). The epididymis stores the newly made sperm cells until they are mature and capable of being motile. If sperm are not ejected from the male reproductive system in a timely manner, the old sperm degenerate and are resorbed by cells lining the duct of the epidiymis. (McKinley, Michael. Human Anatomy. McGraw-Hill. 2008. p862).
