Sperm count and morphology can be calculated by microscopy. Sperm count can also be estimated by kits that measure the amount of a sperm-associated protein, and are suitable for home use. [30] [unreliable medical source?] Computer assisted semen analysis (CASA) is a catch-all phrase for automatic or semi-automatic semen analysis techniques.

Sperm and egg fusing (fertilisation) Dimensions of the human sperm head measured from a 39-year-old healthy human subject The mammalian sperm cell can be divided in 2 parts connected by a neck: Head: contains the nucleus with densely coiled chromatin fibers, surrounded anteriorly by a thin, flattened sac called the acrosome , which contains ...
Hims reports that the respondents who used their phone more than 20 times per day had a 30% increased risk for lower sperm concentration and 21% increased risk for total sperm count to be below ...
Diagram of a human sperm cell. Sperm (pl.: sperm or sperms) is the male reproductive cell, or gamete, in anisogamous forms of sexual reproduction (forms in which there is a larger, female reproductive cell and a smaller, male one).
A 1992 World Health Organization report described normal human semen as having a volume of 2 mL or greater, pH of 7.2 to 8.0, sperm concentration of 20×10 6 spermatozoa/mL or more, sperm count of 40×10 6 spermatozoa per ejaculate or more, and motility of 50% or more with forward progression (categories a and b) of 25% or more with rapid ...
The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperm) by the process of spermiogenesis. These develop into mature spermatozoa, also known as sperm cells. [2] Thus, the primary spermatocyte gives rise to two cells, the secondary spermatocytes, and the two secondary spermatocytes by their subdivision produce four spermatozoa and four haploid ...
A human sperm cell consists of a flat, disc shaped head approximately 5.1 by 3.1 μm (0.20 by 0.12 mils), and a tail, known as a flagellum 50 μm (2.0 mils) long. [4] The flagellum propels the sperm cell at about 1 to 3 millimetres per minute (0.66 to 1.97 mils per second). [ 5 ]
