Spermatozoa, in this case human, are a primary component in normal semen, and the agents of fertilization of female ova.. Semen, also known as seminal fluid, is a bodily fluid that contains spermatozoa.
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 spermatozoon (/ s p ər ˌ m æ t ə ˈ z oʊ. ən, ˌ s p ɜːr m ə t ə-/; [1] also spelled spermatozoön; pl.: spermatozoa; from Ancient Greek σπέρμα (spérma) 'seed' and ζῷον (zôion) 'animal') is a motile sperm cell produced by male animals relying on internal fertilization.
Semen quality is a measure of male fertility, a measure of the ability of sperm in semen to accomplish fertilization.Semen quality involves both sperm quantity and quality. Semen quality is a major factor in fertilit
Sperm sorting is a means of choosing what type of sperm cell is to fertilize an egg cell using several conventional techniques of centrifugation or swim-up.Newly applied methods such as flow cytometry expand the possibilities of sperm sorting and new techniques of sperm sorting are being developed.
Sperm motility is dependent on several metabolic pathways and regulatory mechanisms. The axonemal bend movement is based on the active sliding of axonemal doublet microtubules by the molecular motor dynein, which is divided into an outer and an inner arm. Outer and inner arm plays different roles in the production and regulation of flagellar motility: the outer arm increase the bea
As postmeiotic germ cells develop to mature sperm they progressively lose the ability to repair DNA damage that may then accumulate and be transmitted to the zygote and ultimately the embryo. [5]
A semen analysis (plural: semen analyses), also called seminogram or spermiogram, evaluates certain characteristics of a male's semen and the sperm contained therein. [1] [2] [3] It is done to help evaluate male fertility, whether for those seeking pregnancy or verifying the success of vasectomy.
