    The document describes the journey of a sperm cell from its development in the testicles through ejaculation. It is produced in the testicles over 2-3 months then stored in the epididymis. During an erection, it travels through the vas deferens and urethra, gaining fluids to survive longer and swim better. Along with 200 million other sperm, it is ejaculated from the penis and must travel through the cervix and uterus to the fallopian tubes in search of an egg for fertilization.

    Part 1

    THE LIFE OF A SPERM CELL


    Without me, an egg cell couldn't begin the amazing
    process of reproduction.
    I am produced in the testicles.
    I develop for two or three months in the epididymis.
    When the penis becomes erect, I leave the epididymis and
    travel up into the body through the vas deferens.
    I go from the vas deferens to the urethra.
    As I pass the prostate gland, the seminal vesicles, and the
    Cowper's glands, fluids are added so that I can live longer
    and swim more easily.
    The urethra carries me (along with about 200 million
    other sperm) out of the penis in a process called
    ejaculation.
    I go through the cervix and the uterus and into the
    fallopian tubes, in search of an egg cell.
    If I can find the ovum before the other sperm do, I will be
    the winner: part of a fertilized egg!
