During capacitation, changes occur in the sperm's membrane, including an increase in membrane fluidity and alterations in ion channels. There is also an increase in intracellular calcium levels, which triggers signaling pathways required for the acrosome reaction. Additionally, capacitation leads to an increase in sperm motility and the ability to bind to the zona pellucida of the egg.

What is the process by which sperm become capable of fertilizing an egg?

Sperm become capable of fertilizing an egg through a process called capacitation, which occurs in the female reproductive tract. During capacitation, the sperm undergo physiological changes that enable them to penetrate and fertilize the egg. This includes changes in sperm membrane composition and increased motility.


Sperm cannot fertilize an egg until they have undergone the process of?

Fertilization normally occures in the uterine tube within a day after ovulation. Sperm cannot fertilize an egg until they have undergone "Capacitation". Capacitation occures after the spermatozoa(1) miz with secretions of the seminal vesicles and (2) are exposed to conditions inside the female reproductive tract. The epididymis secretes a substance that prevents premature capacitation. Anatomy and Physiology book, second edition p.703 and p.766 Alvin Community College EMT-I student.
