What is the only flagellated cell in the body?
Sperm cells possibly...are you sure there are only one?
How fertilization occurs?
One sperm cell must find the egg cell (oocyte) and penetrate the cell membrane. Only the head gets in. It (consisting almost entirely of DNA) is drawn to the nucleus of the egg cell where the chromosomes match and mix.
How does the human fertilization process work?
In the human fertilization process, the sperm which reach the egg fight for entrance. Once entrance has been gained by a single sperm, the rest are pushed away and die within 48 hours. You can learn more about this process at the How Stuff Works website.
If sperm does not get in to the vagina then there is a chance of pregnancy?
If sperm does not enter the vagina, there is no chance of pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg, and this can only happen if the sperm comes into contact with the vagina and eventually reaches the egg in the fallopian tubes. Without this contact, pregnancy cannot occur.
What happens during and after human fertilization?
Fertilization is a very complicated process. It starts with the sperm cell entering the uterus. The sperm travels through the vagina and cervix into the uterus where it travels up the oviducts (fallopian tubes). While thousands of sperm enter, only a few will actually reach the egg. Of these few only one will enter. Once the sperm enters its merges with the egg forming a zygote. Fertilization can only occur in the oviducts, and during a specific period of time, ovulation. This is fertilization in essence. The entire process of egg secretion, priming the reproductive organs for a baby, and the baby growing is a very complicated process. However, fertilization is just the act of the sperm meeting the egg and merging to form a zygote. This is also a simple view of the process. For a more complicated on, if needed.

Why does only one sperm reach the fallopian tube?
Many reach the fallopian tubes, but only one gets to the egg.
Does the sperm start to fertalize inside the fallopian tube?
No. Fallopian tubes exist only in women. Sperm is produced only by men.
What is the only flagellated cell in the body?
Sperm cells possibly...are you sure there are only one?
Where does fertilization of a oocyte usually occur?
Fallopian Tube
How is the sperm able to get to the egg?
Sperm travels through the female reproductive system by swimming through the cervical mucus, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Only a few sperm out of millions will reach the egg, and the one that successfully penetrates and fertilizes the egg results in conception.
Is sperm a form of bacteria?
Sperm Is Not BacteriaNo. Sperm is something that fertilizes the egg that's released into the fallopian tube. Only one sperm will fertilize the egg, other will eventually die. During fertilization the sperm loses it's tail and the cell in the egg begins to divide and turn into a baby.
Is a sperm cell large in size?
No. Seminal fluid is only about 10% sperm.
How do you know sperm wont get you pregnant if you swallow it?
Sperm needs to travel through the vagina and cervix to reach the uterus and fallopian tubes in order to fertilize an egg. Swallowing sperm means it will be digested in the stomach and cannot reach these reproductive organs, so it cannot result in pregnancy.
Which cell has tail to help it move?
Sperm cells are zygotes (specialised cells with only 23 chromosomes).
Is Sperm cell a haploid or diploid?
A sperm cell is haploid with only 24 chromosomes.
Are all sperm equal?
All sperm cell are the same. It only takes one sperm cell to get a girl pregnant.
How long for female sperm to reach egg?
Only males have sperm. There is no such thing as female sperm.
