Reply to TIL: Sperms were thought to move by wiggling their tails side-to-side, like eels, for 350 years. But research shows that they roll as they move forward like a spinning top. by vect77

I'm trying to understand this... the sperm rotating the tail around themself... like a spinning top while moving ?

Really, I can't picture it... "rotating around itself whilst its tilted axis rotates around the centre", so... is the tail spinning around it in a plane or a full 360 degree.. then how can you tell its axis ?

I think i'm just stupid..
