Two Types of Assays for Detecting Frog Sperm Chemoattraction
Published on: December 27, 2011
Abstract:
The motility of spermatozoa on 324 ejaculates was investigated with the help of two different methods, the sperm motile efficiency (Ishii) and a subjective calculation of the velocity of spermatozoa. Simultaneously the eosin-vitality-test was done. There was a very good statistical correlation (alpha = 0,1%) and no difference could be observed among the three methods. Ishii's sperm efficiency will be recommended as a standard.

01:41Spermatogenesis
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid sperm cells are produced in the male testes. It starts with stem cells located close to the outer rim of seminiferous tubules. These spermatogonial stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to additional stem cells (meaning that these structures “self-renew”), as well as sperm progenitors, called spermatocytes. Importantly, this method of asymmetric mitotic division maintains a population of spermatogonial stem cells in the male reproductive...
01:15Sperm Transport
The journey of sperm from its origin to the point of ejaculation begins within the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Here, Sertoli cells produce fluid that propels non-motile sperm through a series of conduits, starting with the straight tubules leading to the rete testis. This interconnected network of tubules acts as the initial pathway for sperm, guiding them into the efferent ductules and then into the epididymis for maturation.
