Question

Name the genital tract of females that receive sperms.

Answer 1

Hint: During coitus (intercourse) in the human, semen is deposited in the upper vagina close to the cervix where, to avoid vaginal acid and immune responses. These sperms travel through the cervix and uterine cavity and finally in the fallopian tube, it meets the egg that was released from the ovary during ovulation.

Complete answer:
During sexual intercourse (coitus), male discharges semen into the female's vagina found close to the cervix. This is called insemination. A single semen ejaculation may contain 300 million of sperms. From the vagina, they quickly contact cervical mucus and enter the cervix. Cervical mucus works to filter out the sperms with poor morphology and motility so that only a minority of ejaculated sperm actually enter the cervix. From the cervix, sperms travel up to the uterus but only a few thousand sperms find their way into the opening of the fallopian tubes. Initially contractions of the uterus and fallopian tubes help the sperms to move but later on they move by their own motility. Sperms swim in the fluid medium at the rate of 1.5-3 mm per minute to reach the site of fertilization, the fallopian tube. In the fallopian tube, the sperm meets the female egg which was released from the ovary during ovulation and then fertilization occurs.

Note:
During copulation, sperms travel through the vagina to the uterus and fallopian tubes. Initially millions of sperms are released by male's penis by ejaculation and are deposited in the vagina. Vagina receives sperms and then they get transported to the uterus and fallopian tubes. In the fallopian tube, the sperm meets the egg and thus fertilization occurs.
