Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Sperm is a reproductive cell that develops from the male reproductive organ. Sperm cell fuses with the female reproductive cell called ovum, the process of the mating of sperm and the ovum is called fertilization. Sperm is produced by testis and it is stored in an epididymis. Sperm passes through a tubular duct called vas deferens from the epididymis and joins the urethra. The sperm moves inside the prostate gland which is the male accessory glands. This gland adds fluid to the sperm to form semen which finally passes from the penis.
