Sperm activation factor in sea urchin egg

Abstract The addition of egg jelly to sea urchin sperm induces multiple changes in morphology and behavior. Further, its interaction with eggs is relatively species-specific Glabe and Vacquier ; Glabe and Lennarz Swann K, Whitaker MJ The part played by inositol trisphosphate and calcium in the propagation of the fertilization wave in sea urchin eggs. Sinauer Associates ; Possible mechanisms of egg activation. These events happen in the cytoplasm and occur without the involvement of the nuclei.

During copulation the cloaca or vagina gets inseminated , and then the spermatozoa move through chemotaxis to the ovum inside a Fallopian tube or the uterus. Even high temperatures can cleanse Wolbachia infection, so there are frequent outlets from the cul-de-sac of male 'silencing'. This is vital for the segregation of genes.

It provides motility, and hence is called the powerhouse of the sperm.

Externally fertilizing animals can sustain major fluctuations in the sex ratio that may result from temperature-mediated sex determination because both sexes produce a relatively large number of gametes. While acknowledging, especially in the critique of patriarchy, that imposed cultural roles can and do result in cultural variation in cultural engendering, we will argue that the health and viability of a human culture depends on a whole engagement of the 'human animal' in which culture responds to and resonates creatively with our underlying biologically 'engendered' evolutionarily sustainable nature, rather than imposing its values upon it.
