Normal sperm count in semen is:

Normal sperm count in semen is: Correct Answer 40 million per ml or more

Concept:

  • Sperm is male reproductive cells that are present in semen.
  • Semen consists of spermatozoa suspended in plasma-like fluid and is formed at ejaculation.

Key Points

  • Normal semen contains 40 million to 300 million sperm per milliliter.
  • A low sperm count is considered to be between 10 and 20 million sperm per milliliter.
  • 20 million sperm per milliliter may be enough for pregnancy if the sperm is healthy.

 Important Points

  • Oligospermia is the reduction in the volume of the ejaculate.
  • Hyperthermia is an increase in the volume of ejaculate.
  • Oligozoospermia is low sperm count i.e. < 30 million/ml. Polyzoopsermia is high sperm count i.e. > 300 million/ml.

Consider the following code. int count = 0; void *thfun () { int ctr=0; for (ctr=0; ctr<100; ctr++)      count++; } If thfun is executed by two threads concurrently in a uniprocessor system, what will be the MINIMUM value of count when both threads complete their execution? Assume that count++ is performed using three instructions: (i) read value of count from memory to a CPU register R, (ii) increment R, and (iii) store the value of R in memory.
