Egg Cell |
 |
|
The egg cell is carried into the tube by cilia of mucus membrane. (fallopian tube), nicely sitting there in the folds of mucosa and waiting for the male partner(sperm). |
Generation of Sperms (Genetic Material of male) |
|
|
Single seminiferous tubule in the process of sperm production at various stages like spermatocyte, spermatide and finally spermatozoa. Each testis is made up of millions of such tubules. |
|
|
|
From puberty to late mans life, billions and billions sperms produced in the seminiferous tubules at unbelievable pace. |
Structure of a mature sperm. |
|
|
Sperm head contains half of the chromosomes needed to create a new human being the other half waits securely stored in women’s egg cell, mid piece carries energy source for sperm, tail helps in the propagation of sperm from the site of ejaculation till fertilization of the egg. |
Ejaculation and Assent of sperms towards egg cell. |
|
|
When ejaculation occurs its sets out remarkable chemical process, various glands shoot of different forms of liquid, that mixed form is called semen. A unique alkaline milieu semen protects from the acidic environment of womans vagina. |
Fighting for the Race |
|
|
The ejaculated sperm have reached womans body. Millions of genetic carriers fight to win the race to the reach the egg cell, and to procreate new life.
Inside vagina, cervix secretion are prepared to the new commers. Narrow channels made in the dry mucus are the path ways for the sperm to reach the egg. |
Fire Flies |
|
|
The brilliant fluorescent tiny objects which are looking exactly like fire flies are nothing but cute little sperms. |
Competition for the fittest |
|
|
During long journey in the cervical canal of uterus and fallopian tubes, sperm selection takes place. And the very best, fastest and competent sperm meets the egg.
Nowhere in the world millions compete for one. This is an unique situation in the nature. |
The institution of marriage puts a barrier entry of other man in the womens life (culture). |
|
|
The winner immediately blocks the way of other sperms into the egg by egg cell calcium influx (nature).
Genetic material in the sperm head fuses with chromosomes in the egg cell. The process is called fertilization. |
Development of Blastocyst |
