seminal fluid Flashcards
counting chambers for semen analysis
makler chamber and naubauer chamber
grade for this sperm motility action, rapid, straight-line motility
4.0
grade for this sperm motility action, slower speed, some lateral movement
3.0
grade for this sperm motility action, slow forward progression
2.0
grade for this sperm motility action, no forward progession
1.0
normal motility is defined as
50%
provides objective determination of both sperm velocity and trajectory
CASA (computer-assisted semen analysis)
sperm count ratio dilution
1:20
diluent used
sodium bicarbonate, formaline, saline, distilled water and chilled water
purpose of diluent
fixes the sperm - stops motility
specimens that do not liquefy must be treated with what
amylase
hardening of veins that drain the testes
varicocele
what happens to the sperm in varicocele
tapered head of sperms
test for viability
modified bloom’s test
reagent used in bloom’s test
eosin and nigrosin
