ABSTRACT

Reproductive process is one of the most complex events, but at the same time, one of the most fascinating of nature, because it represents for each individual the possibility of perpetuating by descendants. Process also requires participation of ovocyte, female gamete that proceeds from the event of follicular maturity performed at ovarian, as well as the participation of other structures of the central nervous system, that constitute the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. By the other hand, semen placed in the vaginal sac fundus and in the endocervical duct during intercourse contents as main element spermatozoid, male gamete that must initiate a difficult journey from that moment, that includes a long route by female genital tract till salpinx ampullary portion, site where usually fertilization in human occurs and where in a periovulatory phase will be able to join to the ovum and will complete its journey when merging with it, giving place to fertilization, which represents the trophy for the most capacitated spermatozoid among 200-500 million which have participated in that difficult journey.
