Spermiogenesis
The sperm cell consists of a head, a midpiece and a tail. The head contains the nucleus surrounded an acrosome, which contains enzymes used for penetrating the egg. The midpiece has a core with many mitochondria around it. Those produce ATP to drive the tail.

Human sperm can be observed under a microscope at magnifications ranging from 200x to 1000x, with 400x being a common choice. Higher magnifications may allow for better visualization of specific structures within the sperm, such as the head, midpiece, and tail.
Spermatozoa are the male reproductive cells produced in the testes, while sperm refers to the mature, motile form of spermatozoa. Spermatozoa have a head, midpiece, and tail, while sperm only consists of the head and tail. Spermatozoa are immotile and need to mature in the epididymis to become sperm, which are motile and capable of fertilizing an egg.
Mature sperm have a well-developed head, midpiece, and tail, allowing them to swim efficiently towards the egg for fertilization. They also have a compact nucleus with condensed DNA. In contrast, immature sperm lack these structures and are unable to fertilize an egg.
Sperms consist of a head, midpiece, and tail. The head contains the genetic material and is capped by the acrosome which aids in penetration of the egg. The midpiece is packed with mitochondria to provide energy for movement, while the tail propels the sperm forward through the female reproductive tract.
A sperm cell consists of three parts: HEAD which contains the acrosomal vesicle, nucleus and centriole MIDPIECE which contains mitochondria to produce energy needed for movement TAIL or flagella which flips back and forth to provide movement Only the sperm head penetrate the egg. The midpiece and tail are lost
The functional regions of a sperm are the head, which contains genetic material, and the tail, which propels the sperm. The structural regions include the acrosome at the tip of the head, which contains enzymes for penetrating the egg, and the midpiece, which contains mitochondria for providing energy to the tail.

Motility in sperm without a flagellum typically involves a different type of movement such as crawling or a wiggling motion. These sperm may use their head or midpiece to move forward, aided by contractions of the cell body. While less efficient than flagellar movement, these alternative mechanisms still allow the sperm to progress towards the egg.

Spermatid is an immature sperm cell where a spermatoza is a mature sperm cell.
A spermatid is an immature male germ cell formed during spermatogenesis, which eventually matures into a spermatozoon or sperm cell. A spermatozoon is a mature male gamete with a head, midpiece, and tail that is capable of fertilizing an egg.
