As spermatozoa travel through the epididymal duct they gain key factors that are needed for the spermatozoa to function outside of the male reproductive tract. What does each segment of the epididymis contribute? Include a drawing to illustrate your answer in the same below.

Expert Solution

The Spermatozoa have to go through several temporal maturation steps in a series of different location in order to be capable of penetrating into oocyte
while oocyte maturation steps involve the storing of yolk and the process of meiosis ,functional maturation steps are required with the spermatozoa,which mainly involves their motile abilities along with their ability to penetrate through the egg covering

MATURATION STEPS OF THE SPERMATOZOA IN THE EPIDIDYMIS

Deposition of new protein in the nucleus ,the DNA becomes more condensed.
The sperm head become smaller,thereby,and more compact.This is an important step for the later correct decondensation of the paternal DNA in the maternal oocyte.
The already meager cytoplasma is further reduced,making the sperm cell more slender
The ability for motility is achieved but at the same time inhibited by the milieu
The structure of the plasma membrane is altered.This has effects on the motility,the capacitation ability and the ability for the acrosome reaction

Airflow through a long, 0.15-m-square air conditioning duct maintains the outer duct surface temperature at 10°C. If the horizontal duct is uninsulated and exposed to air at 35°C in the crawlspace beneath a home, what is the heat gain per unit length of the duct? Evaluate the properties of air at 300 K. For the sides of the duct, use the more accurate Churchill and Chu correlations for laminar flow on vertical plates. What is the Rayleigh number for free...

Air flows through a constant area duct. The pressure and temperature of the air at the inlet to the duct are P1 = 100 kPa absolute, and T1 = 298 K, respectively. Inlet Mach number is M1 = 0.1. Heat is transferred to the air as it flows through the duct and as a result the Mach number at the exit increases. Write a Matlab code and plot the following: a) Find the pressure and temperature at the exit, while...

Air is cooled from 300 K to 273 K as it flows steadily through a duct. Frictional dissipation may be neglected. Cooling is achieved by removing heat via a heat pump. The work requirement is 1.15 times that of a reversible heat pump operating between 263 and 310 K. For each mole of air flowing through the duct, calculate: Air can be assumed an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity cP of 3.50R. The temperature of the surroundings is...

Air flows through a short duct with a smooth inside surface and gradually changing flow area. The measured flow rate is equal to 288 lbm/min. At the duct inlet, the temperature is equal to 82 deg F, and the pressure is equal to 15 psia. The inlet velocity is equal to 924 ft/s. At the duct exit, the pressure is equal to 21.7 psia. (I.) Calculate the cross-sectional flow area of the duct inlet. (II.) Estimate the temperature and velocity...

A high-viscosity oil is transported through a wide rectangular duct of length L, width W and depth 2B via pressure-driven flow. The duct is inclined at an angle b? below the horizontal plane (gravity may be assumed to act downwards in the vertical direction), and is sufficiently broad that edge effects may be neglected in the transverse (x2) direction. The pressure at the upstream end of the duct (x1=0) is Po, and at the downstream end (x1=L) is PL. The...

Air flows through a 0.25-m-diameter duct. At the inlet the velocity is 300 m/s, and the stagnation temperature is 90°C. If the Mach number at the exit is 0.3, determine the direction and the rate of heat transfer. For the same conditions at the inlet, determine the amount of heat that must be transferred to the system if the flow is to be sonic at the exit of the duct.

Air flows through a heating duct with a square cross-section with 5-inch sides at a speed of 5.3 ft/s. Just before reaching an outlet in the floor of a room, the duct widens to assume a square cross-section with sides equal to 13 inches. Compute the speed of the air flowing into the room (in ft/s), assuming that we can treat the air as an incompressible fluid. Answer should be in Ft/s

The owners of a country’s abundant factors gain from trade while the owners of scarce factors lose. Given this theory, U.S. workers can lose from the growth of Chinese industry since the U.S. is capital abundant and labor scarce compared to China. Some say that based on the theory presented. China becoming the world’s manufacturer can be beneficial to the U.S. because U.S. consumers can purchase products more cheaply. Please elaborate on these two arguments. How can you reconcile them?
