A contest with 250 million competitors; only one winner.. relentless obstacles, outrageous fatality rate.
Within 30 minutes of ejaculation, over 99 percent of the sperm will be dead or dying. But for those that remain it will be a vicious 14-hour fight to the end, with only one champion!
’Sizing Up Sperm’ uses real people to represent 250 million sperm on their marathon quest to be first to reach a single egg!

This is a stroke of genius, a killer concept for ’A WINNER-TAKE-ALL REALITY TV SHOW’, but wait.. this routinely happens in human body, without any fanfare, albeit on much smaller scale.
We’ve received great exclusive images and video content from the National Geographic, and can’t wait to share them with our readers.
Sizing Up Sperm airs on National Geographic Channel this Sunday, March 14 at 9PM ET/PT. Visit the episode’s official site.
In each epic battle, millions of sperm compete while overcoming armies of antibodies, treacherous terrain and impossible odds to reach their single-minded goal.
The locale of the Great Race looks just like our Canadian Rockies playground (where DRB is based), somewhere around Jasper, or Yoho National Park (just saying). And indeed, these are the most epic surroundings:
The ’good’ sperm armies have to battle the ’adversary’ armies in massive conflicts:
A team of Leukocytes from the female immune system are sent to kill the sperm in the uterus: Tolkien’s Orc armies will be proud -
The story begins in the testicle — depicted as a building that would be 3,000 feet, more than double the height of the Empire State Building, if the sperm were human-sized. Next it’s a high-speed evacuation from the skyscraper along a 10-mile, ultra-fast water slide to the female, where the constant barrage of threats begin. For the sperm, landing in the female’s vagina is like storming the beaches on D-Day, only facing chemical weapons in the form of a deadly acid attack on the hundreds of millions of invaders.
Below left you see sperm squished in the cervix, and on the right is sperm waiting inside a giant testicle. They are an army of freshly created sperm:
The survivors press on into the cervix high above them. In our people-sized sperm world that would mean climbing a ladder a mile into the sky, a gravity-defying feat that only a few will achieve. Once the heights have been scaled, they reach a cervix Stephen King style. It consists of hundreds of tiny branching tunnels that trap, crush and slowly kill sperm.

The Right Stuff! -
From here, the remaining sperm enter the uterus, the equivalent of a two-mile-long field at these proportions. But this picturesque countryside is far from serene. Here the sperm are ambushed by the female’s natural assassins, large white blood cells that dismantle the trespassing sperm. For the tiny fraction left, it’s on to the fallopian tubes, where the egg may be waiting. One last obstacle remains — a freestyle swimming final of Olympic proportions, where the winner gains immortality, and the rest are killed.
Sperm in the fallopian tubes: ’getting hot’, or rather, capacitating. Scent signals released during ovulation will make the sperm hyper-active, giving it the ability to actually fertilize the egg - shedding layers of proteins in a process called capacitation:
The few sperm that made it to the fallopian tubes, which is sperm heaven. They receive nutrients and rest in the fallopian tubes:

The Great Sperm Race tells the story of human conception as it’s never been told before, as helicopter-mounted cameras, world-renowned scientists, CGI and dramatic reconstruction bring to life the extraordinary journey of sperm, from ejaculation to egg - scaled up to human size, with the sperm played by real people.

This documentary retraces the journey of conception scaled up to human size, from the sperm production to the fertilization of the egg. There are over 250 million human sperm cells in the testicles waiting for the muscle contractions to expel them through the urethra (ejaculation), but only a few thousands will enter the fallopian tubes, and only one will get to fertilize the egg in the woman’s body. In the documentary, Dr.
Found some poospiter games unblocked. Allan Pacey compares the excursion of sperm as a war, because they have to go through lots of obstacles in the female reproductive system, like the acidity of the vagina, the mucus of the cervix, the narrowness of the entrance of the cervix, and the white blood cells of the immune system.

While the sperm try to find a way through the uterus, over 99% of them would be dead or dying. We learn from the documentary that X and Y sperm are produced in almost equal number. However, there is a difference in their motility.
X sperm tend to be faster, but Y sperm live longer. Once created, each sperm ends up in a structure on top of the testicle, called the epididymis. This is where over a billion sperm mature and most wait. When ejaculation occurs, the sperm go from the epididymis to the vas deferens, which is a sperm duct extending from the scrotum through the inguinal canal and into the pelvic cavity. After they have made their way through these ducts, the sperm are being released into the ejaculatory ducts, which pass through the prostate gland and leads to the urethra.
Finally, the sperm is being conducted through the penis to the outside of the male body. After the sperm have entered the vagina, their objective is to reach a tight opening high above the vagina: the cervix. The cervix constitutes a physical obstacle because of its mucus, called the cervical mucus. It is like a barrier for the sperm, because it selects only sperm with normal motility. Only 20% maximum of these sperm have an appropriate size and shape and will be able to continue the journey, but for the remaining sperm (about 80%), they will not get anywhere at all.
Mac 2816. For those who get the chance to pass through the cervix, they will then reach the uterus. This is possible with the uterine contractions, because it helps sperm to reach the uterine cavity faster. The next destination of the sperm is the fallopian tubes. In these tubes, there are the right pH, the right ion concentration, and lots of nutrients for the sperm. Capacitation occurs there, which means that sperm become motile and capable of undergoing an acrosome reaction. Therefore, sperm become ready to fertilize the egg.
These sperm also become hyperactivated, which means their flagellar beating changes and increases in amplitude. Hyperactivated sperm have the ability to swim and reach the egg faster. Sperm then meet another selective point: the oocytes. The oocytes stop the abnormal sperm, the non-capacitated and the non-acrosome-reacted sperm from continuing the journey towards the egg. The mammalian egg is enclosed by the zona pellicula, which is composed of granulosa cells and facilitates the fertilization.The Great Sperm Race Facts
Sperm that have successfully made it through all the obstacles will be able to enter in contact with the zona around the egg, but only one will get to penetrate into the egg and fertilizes it. Fertilization occurs when the head of the sperm bursts to let its inside full of enzymes fuse with the plasma membrane of the egg. In contrast of the billions of sperm produced continuously in a man’s body, a woman would produce just one egg per month. One egg has a limited lifetime and only lasts for 24 hours.The Great Sperm Race 2009
This is why timing is so important for the sperm, as arriving at the egg too late or too early would lead them to death. After the sperm has fertilized the egg, the male chromosomes are going to melt with the female chromosomes. It is the sign that the creation of a new individual is about to start. I think this documentary is very interesting in the way that it helps to comprehend how fertilization occurs. With the human scale that the producers have used, it is easy to understand all the processes from the sexual reproduction to the birth of the embryo.
