how can sperms find path exactly towards ovary.
how do they know route particulars once entered into vagina.
what force is motivating them to have to reach ovary.
im very sorry if this is an odd question.
I think they don't know where to go, they'll just swim around untill one of the million sperms is lucky enough to be the first to enter the ovum.
When Sperm enters Vagina ,peristalsis movement caused by the secretion of prostaglandins help to direct sperm towards ovary
Just found something in my biology textbook: Sperm exhibit chemotaxis and are attracted to a chemical compound that is discharged from the oocyte. The sperms use flagella to move. maybe this will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_chemotaxis
this is just awkward reading in the front row...
Chemical signals.
