DESCRIPTION:Sperm actively propel themselves toward the egg and penetrate 
 its vestments through the action of the beating flagellum. The energetic r
 equirements of flagellar beating\, and in particular the requirements for 
 energy to be supplied to the distal flagellum\, remain unresolved. We inve
 stigate these energetic requirements via elastohydrodynamic modelling and 
 image analysis of human sperm\, with particular reference to the role of t
 he passive elastic structures of the flagellum.
