• Capacitation: The term “sperm capacitation" refers to the process male sperm go

through after being ejaculated into the female reproductive tract. Chemical

processes take place that enable the sperm to penetrate and fertilize an egg. These

processes are not fully understood, but it is believed that they involve the full

maturation of the sperm cells so that they can successfully join with a mature female

egg.
