Q

stain used to prepare semen morphology exam

A

Q

during semen morphology exam, count at least _____ sperm

A

100

23
Q

during semen morphology exam there should be

A

20-Oct

24
Q

morphologic abnormality where abnormal sperm are unable to reach the uterine tube or cannot penetrate the oocyte; increased sperm may make up for defects

A

compensatory

25
Q

morphologic abnormality where sperm are capable of reaching and penetrating oocyte, but embryonic development fails; increased sperm cannot make up for defects

A

non-compensatory

26
Q

morphologic abnormality where there are primarily functional defects of the acrosome, head and midpiece

A

major

27
Q

morphologic abnormality where there are defects of the head, midpiece and tail believed not to be so deleterious to fertility

A

minor

28
Q

morphologic abnormality that originated in the seminiferous tubules; a defect in production/manufacturing

A

primary

29
Q

morphologic abnormality that originated in the epididymis; a defect in maturation or storage

A

secondary

30
Q

morphologic abnormality that originated post-ejaculatory or iatrongenically; difficult to differentiate from secondary

A

tertiary

31
Q

three portions of the normal canine sperm head

A

acrosome, equitorial region, post-acrosomal region

32
Q

three portions of the normal canine sperm

A

head, midpiece, tail (with flagella)

33
Q

the midpiece of a canine sperm should have _____ attachment

A

axial

34
Q

knobbed acrosome, macrocephaly, pyriform head and diadem defect are examples of ______ morphologic defects

A

primary

35
Q

double sperm, detached abnormal heads, dag defect and tightly coiled tail are examples of _____ morphologic defects

A

primary

36
Q

effect of retained proximal cytoplasmic droplet on canine sperm

A

none (bad in other species)

37
Q

retained cytoplasmic droplet is a ______ morphologic defect

A

primary

38
Q

terminally coiled tail, distal midpiece reflex w/ droplet, bent tail and detached normal head are examples of ______ morphologic defects

A

secondary

39
Q

erythrocyte contamination of the semen from urethral or cavernosal rent, iatrogenic from bumping penis during collection or benign prostatic hypertrophy

A

40
Q

leukocyte conamination of the semen from balanoposthitis, orchitis, epididymitis or prostatitis

A

leukospermia (pyospermia)

41
Q

number of millions of sperm per mL of sample, determined by counting sperm in counting chamber

A

concentration

42
Q

total sperm count equation

A

concentration x volume

44
Q

no sperm

A

46
Q

measuring _____ in a semen sample showing azoospermia can determine if the dog actually ejaculated

A

Q

ALP _____ U/L is consistent with at least partial emptying of the epididymis and the sample should contain at least some sperm if they were present to be ejaculated

A

> 5000
