Biomed Society: Physiology Friday Movie Night

The documentary describes the tortuous journey of the sperm in their quest to fertilise the egg. From storage in the male testes to fusion with the egg, this accompanying paper summarises the latest scientific thinking about human sperm delivery and transport, which formed the basis of the film.

The society has also been sponsored by The Physiological Society to happily promote Physiology Friday, an annual event which showcases the important and amazing world of human and animal bodies through outreach and public engagement activities. Use the tag #PhysiologyFriday on all social media!

 

Pizza and refreshments will be available.
