This brief animation shows an overview of the structural components of the spermatozoa.

Blue - Nucleus containing male haploid genome required to combine with oocyte haploid genome to form diploid zygote.
Red - Acrosome containing enzymes required to digest the zona pellucida. The acrosome develops as a highly modified golgi structure.
Green - Centriole and axonema required for spermatozoa movement.
Orange - Mitochondria and annulus required for energy for spermatozoa movement.
Grey - Cytoplasm and plasmolemma, cell membrane containing membrane proteins for chemotaxis and binding to the oocyte zone pellucida.
