How likely is a successful sperm-egg encounter?
•In mammals, ten to hundreds of millions spermare introduced.
•One tenth reach cervix
•One tenth penetrate cervical mucus to reach uterus
•One tenth make it through uterus to oviduct
•After progressing through narrow, tortuous mucus-containing lumen –as few as one sperm per oocyte complete this journey

2-microtubule axoneme
• `Rigid’ links build the microtubules.
• Nexin links are modeled by passive inter-microtubule springs.
• Dynein motors – dynamic springs.

Dynein Arms
• Dyneins are modeled by dynamic inter-microtubule springs.
• Dynein connectivity is reassessed at each time step. Depending on the amount of microtubule sliding, the dyneins might “ratchet” from one site of attachment along neighboring microtubule to another.
![Page 37: Lisa J. Fauci Tulane University, Math Dept. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA biofluids of reproduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649efa5503460f94c0bee1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Power stroke: all dyneins are activated. When shear has reached a given threshold, terminate power stroke.
• Recovery stroke: Activate opposing family of dyneins from base up to the point of maximum curvature.

Curvature control algorithm
The activation of each individualdynein depends upon the local curvature at the site of the dyneinat some lag time in the past.
Initially, the axoneme has a pair of bends.

We have developed the framework and methodology for a coupled fluid-axoneme model that:
• Provides information concerning the local curvature and spacing between the microtubules at each dynein site.
• Facilitates stochastic models of dynein activation due to the discrete representation of the dyneins.
• May be used as a test-bed for different activation theories.

Large amplitude, finite swimmers with
accentuated tail beating can
actually swim faster in a Stokes/Oldroyd-B
fluid than a Newtonian Stokes fluid.
