Semencontains sperm, which is made in thetestes. It also contains a nutrient-rich fluid (seminal fluid) that helps sperm move. Semen exits the body through the urethra. Precumis made in theCowper’s glands, pea-sized glands located inside of the body behind the penis and connected to the...
In this procedure, a small cut is made in thescrotum, and a tiny microscope allows the surgeon to view tubes containing sperm. Fluid is extracted to measure the number and quality of sperm available. If none are found or the sperm are dead, another area can be explored. ...
Transfer of sperm and seminal fluid during copulation decreases the female's propensity to engage in subsequent mat- ings. This effect is mainly mediated by products of the male accessory glands10–13. Despite this chemical mate guarding, females mate multiple times when in social groups and in ...
Finally, just to be safe and really put myself at ease, I got some sperm frozen before I got the vasectomy. It was several hundred dollars, which isn’t nothing. But imagining the worst-case scenario of future-Eneasz wanting kids, I’d rather pay that than screw future-Eneasz very ba...

In 2009, researchers reported7 deactivating an ovarian gene called Foxl2 in adult female mice; they found that the granulosa cells that support the development of eggs transformed into Sertoli cells, which support sperm development. Two years later, a separate team showed8 the oppo- site: that ...
In A. mississippiensis, spermatogenesis begins in early spring, and germ cells mature in a single cohort to produce one continuous spermiation event during the breeding season from May-June, which differs from the consistent spatial developmental pattern of spermatogenesis observed in other amniotes. ...
Exposure to steppe polecat excreta decreased sperm count in male root voles and decreased ovary size in females (Wang and Liu, 2002). In a controlled laboratory study on rats (Rattus norvegicus), distance of rat cages from cages containing live lynx impacted female reproductive physiology (Naiden...
Varicocele, defined as enlarged varicose veins in the scrotum, is the most common identifiable cause of male infertility. There are significant correlations between oxidative stress and varicocele-related infertility due to testicular hyperthermia, which can result in low sperm function. In addition, re...
The third breeding experiment was accomplished like the second one with a new sample of eggs and sperm collected from the same captive breeding stock, but one year after the second breeding experiment and without any experimental treatments during embryogenesis and larval stages. Its purpose here was...
