reproductive system
• the axoneme is completely disorganized in testicular spermatozoa
• sperm flagella lack the central pair of microtubules and the 9 peripheral microtubule doublets are scattered irregularly
|
• sperm flagella lack the central pair of microtubules
|
• 33.6% of mice exhibit absent spermatozoa flagella
|
• 14.3% of mice exhibit coiled sperm flagellum
|
• 48.4% of mice exhibit short spermatozoa flagella
|
• many aberrant spermatozoa undergo apoptosis
|
• complete loss of progressive sperm motility and sperm motility
|
• males are infertile
• however, females are fertile
