| Description |
Reproduction is one of the fundamental characteristics of living organisms. It involves the transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next, ensuring that the species survives over long periods of time. The study on
reproduction was started during the sixteenth century, and during subsequent centuries intense researches have explored many hidden areas of this field. However
there are many unknown regions which are yet to be revealed.
Anatomically male reproductive system consists of two testicles and a network of excretory ducts (epididymis, vas deferens and ejaculatory ducts), accessory glands (seminal vesicles, the prostate gland and the bulbourethral gland)
and the penis. Testicular spermatozoa acquire fertility only after one or two weeks of transit through the epididymis. At the end of this several meters long epididymal tubule, the male gamete is able to move, capacitate, migrate through the female tract,
bind to the egg membrane and finally fuse to the oocyte to obtain a viable embryo. All these sperm properties are acquired after sequential modifications occurring either at
the level of the spermatozoon or in the epididymal surroundings. Considerable research efforts ongoing in various laboratories are aimed at elucidating the events
accompanying sperm maturation and the role of the epididymis in creating an ideal fluid environment for this process to take place.
