A large number of sperm cells are produced by males every day. This large number of sperm cells increases the chance that enough sperm cells will be present to transport the egg. from where it is made to where it develops into a fetus. at least one sperm cell will be reached when the eggs swim toward the sperm cells in the ovary.

One of the common unfortunate consequences of a vasectomy is that the proximal ends of the ductus deferens rupture and spermatozoa are exposed to the immune system. The person with the testes then produces antibodies against their own sperm. This has consequences for the effectiveness of a vasectomy reversal. In the situation described above, why are the spermatozoa considered foreign even though they are being produced within the person’s own seminiferous tubules? This immune response is not normal, and so describe how the testes’ structure prevents this immune reaction from occurring.
