Secretions of acrosome helps one sperm enter cytoplasm of ovum through zona pellucida

The process of fusion of a sperm with an ovum is called fertilisation. During fertilization, a sperm comes in contact with the zona pellucida layer of the ovum and induces changes in the membrane that blocks the entry of additional sperms. Thus, it ensures that only one sperm can fertilise an ovum. The secretions of the acrosome help the sperm enter into the cytoplasm of the ovum through the zona pellucida and the plasma membrane.
