DEF

Période de maturation du spermatozoïde dans les voies génitales de la femelle où il séjourne un certain temps pour acquérir le pouvoir fécondant.

CONT

Pendant longtemps on n'avait pas su provoquer la "capacitation" du spermatozoïde, c'est-à-dire les transformations qui le rendent capable de féconder l'ovule. Cette capacitation semblait ne pouvoir se réaliser que par le passage du spermatozoïde dans l'utérus.
