What are the Key Histological Features of Sperm Cells?
Sperm cells are highly specialized for motility and fertilization. Histologically, they consist of three main parts: the head, midpiece, and tail. The head contains the acrosome and nucleus, the midpiece houses mitochondria for energy, and the tail, or flagellum, provides locomotion. The acrosome is a cap-like structure that contains enzymes crucial for penetrating the egg cell's outer layers.
