It is the back up hard drive to the basal body, which in motile spermatids is an extension of the primary cilium.
Research by Dr C.A. Poole in New Zealand examined the role of primary cilia, and in 1985 published the following paper:
Poole, C. A., M. H. Flint, et al. (1985). "Analysis of the morphology and function of primary cilia in connective tissues: a cellular cybernetic probe?" Cell Motil 5(3): 175-93.

What is the proximal region?
end part or origin of centriole
Hair like tail region of the sperm is called?
The tail of sperm is called flagellus and it also has a centriole in the tail as well. The centriole helps and propels the sperm to swim.
A cylindrical structure that appears to function in the division of certain cells is the?
Centriole
What is the sperm function?
The function of sperm is to deliver genetic material.
What is function of midpiece of sperm cell?
Middle piece is formed of mitochondiral spiral , nebenkern around the proximal part of axoneme. The mitochondria are the carriers of the oxidative enzymes and the enzymes which are responsible for oxidative phosphorylation. So the middle piece is the power house of a sperm

What does the neck bit do in a sperm cell?
The sperm nucleus (in animals) contains the haploid chromosome set of the parent father. The egg or ovum carries the other half of the chromosome set from the parent mother. On fertilisation the two sets fuse and a full set of chromosomes forms (diploid). The cell then divides through mitosis to form the embryo. The nucleus also helps control the sperm cell while it seeks out the ovum. In plants a similar structure develops when a pollen grain (male) germinates on the stigma of a receptive flower. A pollen tube grows down the style to deliver the nucleus to the ovary of the flower [simplified explanation!].
What does a centriole interact with?
Centrioles interact with Microtubules, Embyros, and Sperm Cells in singles, doubles, AND triples.
A cylindrical structure that appears to function in the division of certain cells is the?
Centriole
What is the sperm function?
The function of sperm is to deliver genetic material.
What is the function of the sperm ducts in a frog?
the function of the sperm duct is to carry the sperm from the testes

What is the main function of proximal metaphysis?
the more metaphysis you have the taller you might be
What is the function for a sperm duct?
It stores sperm
What is a sperm cell main function?
sperm main function is to carry the male genes to the egg
Function of worms sperm sacs?
hold the sperm
