"You can think of spermatozoa as a torpedo. It is very compact in shape and it has just want it needs to deliver its payload to its target. And that’s its objective, to get its nucleus to an oocyte. Of course, compared to a torpedo, spermatozoa are highly inefficient. You empty about 200 million of them and your lucky if one of them hits the target. Thank god the navy doesn’t work under that kind of efficiency."
-One of my professors in developmental histology
