Fertilization Animal Science 434 John J. Parrish
Capacitation • 1951 • Austin - rat • Chang - rabbit • Fertilization does not occur until several hours after sperm are placed in the uterus or oviduct
Chang Experiment - 1951 Ovulation After Before Percent Fertilization
Capacitation The changes within sperm that confer upon the sperm the ability to acrosome react in response to the appropriate stimulus. • Zona Pellucida • Cumulus Cells • Follicular Fluid
