Entry term(s) capacitación espermática
Scope note: Cambios estructurales y funcionales por los que los ESPERMATOZOIDES se vuelven capaces de llevar a cabo la FECUNDACIÓN del ovocito. Normalmente requiere exponer el esperma al tracto genital femenino durante un período de tiempo para conseguir una mayor MOTILIDAD ESPERMÁTICA y la REACCIÓN DEL ACROSOMA antes de que pueda tener lugar la fecundación en las TROMPAS DE FALOPIO.
