Term Detail
| GO term: | sperm flagellum |
| Synonym: | sperm tail |
| GO id: | GO:0036126 |
| Definition: | A microtubule-based flagellum that is part of a sperm, a mature male germ cell that develops from a spermatid. |
| Comments | Note that cilia and eukaryotic flagella are deemed to be equivalent. In this case community usage is always 'flagellum', hence the primary term name, but the cilium parentage is deliberate. |
| Number of paths to term: | 10 |
