Sperm consists of a head, midpiece, and flagellum. The midpiece contains mitochondria for motility, and the head features the acrosome, derived from the Golgi apparatus, which aids in penetrating the ovum.
Lo sperma è composto da testa, midpiece e flagello. Il midpiece è ricco di mitocondri per l'energia, mentre la testa contiene l'acrosoma, derivato dall'apparato di Golgi, che aiuta a penetrare l'ovulo.
