Sperm and sperm are different like that
Sperm and semen are two concepts that many people still confuse. Let's bacsixanh learn about this concept offline.
Sperm: A male's sex cell
- As a component of semen, is a determinant of reproduction. Men's sperms are produced regularly by the testes daily, every hour and stored in the seminal vesicles, mixed with other semen to produce semen.
- Sperm is located in semen and is very small in size so that the naked eye cannot see it, people only see it when it is put on a magnifying glass 10 - 100 times.
- Sperm can move by its special structure, sperm carries genetic material of man, and it is responsible for fertilizing eggs to form zygote, zygote through division process The cell constantly forms the fetus.
Sperm is a male reproductive cell with 23 chromosomes, shaped like an oval head, long tail. It exists in semen that can only be observed when using a microscope.
During ejaculation, the sperm will travel with the seminal fluid from the vas deferens to the urethra and out of the penis for 3-5 days in the female's uterus and uterus.
Sperm accounts for 1% of semen composition, which is a determinant of male fertility. If a man has an ejaculation but there is no sperm or unhealthy sperm in the semen, it is infertile.
The testes produce sperm every day, every hour, every minute and are stored in the seminal vesicles but if they do not ejaculate, the sperm will die and be "eaten" by the epithelial epithelium. In the case of blood semen, if not supported early and proper intervention also produces phagocytosis phenomenon, that blood cells will "eat" sperm and cause infertility.
Normal sperm will have 3 head, body and tail, deformed sperm status, no tail, slow moving or deformed head, ... the chances of men having reproductive problems is very large. Therefore, you should have semen tests and regular male exams to screen for dangerous male diseases that cause infertility - infertility, even tumors or cancer.
Semen: The fluid that contains sperm.
- Semen is released from the vas deferens of the normal penis at the time of male orgasm and ejaculation - In addition to a small portion of mucus from the urethra, 10% of the seminal fluid is from the vas deferens, 60% from prostate and 30% from seminal vesicles.
- Men's semen is usually gray or white, smells a little fishy (like the smell of fresh grass) and semen is always viscous to a certain consistency (if the semen is too thin or too dense is also an issue) center).
- Sperm itself contains a lot of substances such as: Sugar (fructose, sorbitol, inositol ... so that semen has a sweet taste), protein and a lot of amino acids, antimicrobial types (phosphorus, zinc, calcium, potassium, mangesium), some vitamins, hormones and many other nutrients .... these substances are responsible for nourishing and an ideal environment for sperm to function and survive.
- In addition, semen contains bacteria, viruses and white blood cells (often in the case of men infected with certain diseases of genital tract infections).
Fluid is a yellowish milky mucus containing hundreds of millions of sperm that appear when men experience orgasm during sex, masturbation, and ejaculation.
Sperm color: Usually, semen is milky or yellowish. If the semen is yellow green, pink or red, then it is likely that men have sexually transmitted infections, tumors or penile cancer….
Stickiness: The seminal fluid is quite slimy and sticky can pull semen strands about 2cm. After ejaculation time about 15 - 30 minutes it will liquefy. If after 30 minutes does not liquefy, it is considered to be a solid semen.
Quantity: Healthy male, no disease will produce about 2 - 5ml / ejaculation. If more from 5ml - 7ml per ejaculation is considered too much, will reduce sperm density and the cause may be due to vesicular inflammation. If less than 2ml, it is considered too little and can cause infertility in men.
Sperm abnormalities, such as clumps, strange colors, solid or too fluid semen all affect sperm quality and are warning signs of infertility - infertility in men.
Conclude
Since sperm and semen are different, sperm is a component in semen (without these two factors, men will have problems), so sperm and semen are almost the same. Sperm itself is an extremely small cell of reproduction, so it cannot be seen with the naked eye, and semen is the fluid we can see when it is expelled from the body. Need to follow up and promptly see a doctor if detected semen and sperm have abnormalities to be treated.
