increased; diminished

21
Q

**The normal pH of the semen is ______ with a
range of ______

A

Normal values for sperm concentration are commonly listed as _________ sperm per milliliter, with concentration between _____________ per milliliter considered borderline.

A

20 to 160 million; 10 to 20 million

23
Q

The total sperm count for the ejaculate can
be calculated by?

A

multiplying sperm concentration by the specimen volume.

24
Q

per ejaculate are considered ______ (20
million per milliliter x 2 ml)

A

normal

25
Q

In the clinical laboratory, sperm
concentration is usually performed using the
_______________.

A

Neubauer counting chamber

26
Q

In the clinical laboratory, sperm
concentration is usually performed using the
Neubauer counting chamber. The most
commonly used dilution is ______.

A

1:20

27
Q

The presence of sperm capable of _______, ______ movement is critical for fertility, because once presented to the cervix, the sperm must _______ themselves through the cervical mucosa to the uterus, fallopian tube and ovum.

A

forward, progressive; propel

28
Q

Just as the presence of a normal number of
sperm that are non motile will produce
infertility, the presence of sperm that are
_____________ of fertilization
also result in infertility.

A

morphologically incapable

29
Q

Sperm Motility procedure

A
  1. Place a large drop of semen on a slide that has
    been pre-warmed at 37°C.
  2. Examine with the HPO of the microscope
  3. Note roughly the proportion of motile to non
    motile cells and also look for testicular
  4. Examine the same slide after 1 to 3 hours to
    determine reduction in motility cells, epithelial
    cells, leukocytes, RBC and crystals
30
Q

**Normally more than ______ of spermatozoa
show active motility within _____ of
ejaculation

A

70%; one hour

30
Q

**Normally more than ______ of spermatozoa
show active motility within _____ of
ejaculation

A

70%; one hour

31
Q

GRADE OF MOTILITY: Rapid, straight-line motility

A

4.0

32
Q

GRADE OF MOTILITY: Slower speed, some lateral movement

A

3.0

33
Q

GRADE OF MOTILITY: Slow forward progression, noticeable lateral movement

A

2.0

34
Q

GRADE OF MOTILITY: No forward progression

A

1.0

35
Q

GRADE OF MOTILITY: No movement

A

0

36
Q

Sperm Count procedure

A
  1. Mix the specimen thoroughly by shaking
    gently
  2. Use a leukocyte counting pipette and draw the
    semen up to the 0.5mark then dilute to mark 11
    with a diluting fluid (approximately 0.38ml)
  3. Place on a hemocytometer counting chamber
    in a manner as for leukocyte count. Allow the
    cells to settle for 2 minutes.
  4. Count the two of the large square (2 sq. mm.)
    and multiply the figure obtained by 100,000 to
    obtain the number per ml
37
Q

Composition of Diluting Fluid (3) and its respective amount

A

Sodium bicarbonate: 5g
Formalin : 1ml
Distilled Water: 100ml

38
Q

**Values of less than 20 million are associated
with ____________

A

infertility

39
Q

Sperm Morphology procedure

A
  1. After the liquefaction time of the semen,
    prepare a thin smear on a clean glass slide; the
    smear should be made within 2 hours.
  2. Air dry the smear and fix gently with heat by
    passing the slide through a flame
  3. Cover the slide with a 0.25% aqueous solution
    of basic fuschin and stain for 5 minutes
  4. Wash with tap water, blot dry and examine
    under the oil immersion objective on the
    microscope
  5. The heads of the sperm are dark red color with
    the tail and the middle piece pink
  6. Count the number of percent of abnormal
    forms
  7. Count the number of percent of abnormal
    forms
  8. Differ and enumeration of round cells can also
    be made by counting the number of spermatids
    or neutrophils seen in conjunction with 100
    mature sperm. The amount per milliliter can be
    calculated using the formula:
40
Q

** At least _____ sperms are examined under the
oil immersion and the percentage of abnormal
from are reported

A

200

41
Q

Sperm Morphology: **Normal: ______

A

<30% abnormal forms

42
Q

Sperm Viability Procedure

A
  1. Prepare a thin smear on a glass slide and air
    dry the smear and fix gently by heat
  2. Stain with Nigrosine- Eosin
  3. Estimate the % of viable sperm
43
Q

Sperm Viability: **Only _________ spermatozoa will take up the stain

A

dead
