## Abstract Sperm are stored in the isthmic region of the oviduct under conditions that maintain sperm viability and suppress motility. This region is also the site in which essential steps of the capacitation process are coordinated with the appearance of the ovulated egg. The influx of Ca^2+^ and
Much progress has been made in recent years in establishing mammalian sperm chemotaxis and understanding sperm capacitation. Thus far, chemotaxis to follicular fluid has been established by a variety of means in human and mouse spermatozoa. It was found that only a small fraction of a given sperm po
