Extract
Enjaculated spermatozoa do not have the immediate capacity for ferilisation. Austin (1952) and Chang (1951) first realised that the sperm gain this capacity within the female genital tract. The physiogical changes that make the spermatozoon competent to fertilise were defined as ‘Capacitation’ (Austin, 1952).
