* There is immediate retrograde loss at the entrance to the cervix/uterus with phagocytosis by leukocytes.
* There is immediate retrograde loss at the entrance to the [[Female_Reproductive_Tract_-The_Cervix_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|cervix]]/uterus with phagocytosis by leukocytes.
* In the cervix, sperm must travel through privileged pathways. This serves to eliminate non-motile sprem and remove some abnormalities.
