Extract

Mammalian fertilization, whether it takes place within the female reproductive tract or within a laboratory dish, is comprised of many processes which must follow a specific sequence. The spermatozoon must bind to and pass through the zona pellucida, fuse with the oolemma and become incorporated into the cytoplasm of the oocyte. Fusion of the two gametes triggers oocyte activation, resulting in exocytosis of the cortical granules and completion of the second meiotic division of the oocyte. A block in one or more of these processes, due either to abnormalities in the spermatozoon or oocyte, may result in fertilization failure.
