Leaching of cholesterol makes the sperm head more permeable to acrosomal enzymes and calcium, stimulating more powerful tail whipping.
La eliminación de colesterol hace que la cabeza del espermatozoide sea más permeable a las enzimas acrosómicas y al calcio, lo que estimula un movimiento más potente de la cola.
| Front | Why is leaching of cholesterol in sperm capacitation beneficial to fertilization? |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Makes head of sperm more permeable to fragile to allow for release of acrosomal enzymes 2. Head becomes more permeable to calcium which diffuses into sperm to stimulate more powerful whipping of the tail |
