| 1. | Capacitation involves a specific pattern of hyperactivated wiggling.
|
| 2. | In mammals, spermatozoa mature functionally through a process which is known as capacitation.
|
| 3. | By this point, capacitation has finished.
|
| 4. | CRISP1 binds to surface of the sperm leading to a quiescent state of storage prior to capacitation.
|
| 5. | Hyperactivation coincides with the onset of capacitation and is the result of the increased Ca 2 + levels.
|
| 6. | After this capacitation, the sperm must undergo the final maturation step, activation, involving the acrosome reaction.
|
| 7. | It may function as a regulator of both motility-and head-associated functions such as capacitation and the acrosome reaction.
|
| 8. | The final phase of sperm development, where its ability to fertilize is " switched on, " is called capacitation.
|
| 9. | Non-mammalian spermatozoa do not require this capacitation step and are ready to fertilize an oocyte immediately after release from the male.
|
| 10. | In mice, group III sPLA2 are involved in sperm maturation, and group X are thought to be involved in sperm capacitation.
