How does acrsome do its job?
Acrosomes are seen in the anterior end of the sperm and this aids in the sperm to penetrate into the egg. Acrosome structure is formed by aggregation of lysosomal bodies and secretions of Golgi complex. These acidic components when released by the rupture of acrosome oozes out and this hydrolyses the egg membrane to facilitate the entry of sperm head into the egg for fertilization to take place.
