 Spermatozoa
The recovery on thawing of human spermatozoa was determined by the nature of the physical gradients encountered rather than simply the rate of cooling.
If similar modifications were applied to the cryopreservation of spermatozoa it would be expected that the recovery of samples would be compromised and it is therefore important to modify freezing techniques to minimise the effect of any changes in procedure.
Recently, a clear genetic basis for variation in freezing sensitivity of spermatozoa has been demonstrated in pigs (Thurston et al., 2001) and it will be fascinating to see if such a relationship can be established in humans.

 Leeuwenhoek and spermatozoa
His continued observations revealed enormous numbers of spermatozoa in the testicles and vasa deferentia of a wide variety of other animals (34), further confirming for Leeuwenhoek the essential identification of spermatozoa and semen.
Leeuwenhoek's comment footnoted immediately above might suggest that he already had in mind the idea of a preformed man in the spermatozoa, although elsewhere he similarly equated the complexity of microscopic animals in general with that of larger animals, including the human body.
Indeed, wrote Leeuwenhoek in 1679, there may be as many parts in the sperm asin the human body itself (41).

Ejaculated spermatozoa exhibited survival and zona-binding capacity similar to that of epididymal spermatozoa, and there was little variation in the survival of ejaculated spermatozoa from an individual dog.
In Experiment IV, ejaculated spermatozoa from each of three dogs and epididymal spermatozoa from each of four other dogs were suspended in glycerol and were frozen and thawed as in Experiment III.
In this study, I evaluated the cryopreservation by pellet freezing of spermatozoa from individual dogs.

The total number of spermatozoa per ejaculate was analyzed with analysis of variance procedures for repeated measures in a factorial arrangement of treatments (Gill and Hafs, 1971).
Consequently, the objective of this study was to examine the influence of the age at which semen collection regimens were initiated on production of spermatozoa in boars.
Total number of spermatozoa per ejaculate increased then appeared to plateau for each treatment combination.

 12. PRESERVATION OF SPERMATOZOA AND OVA
The most crucial aspects of gametes, which are of practical significance in aquaculture, pertain to survival and motility of spermatozoa.
The sperm, which is immotile in the testis, becomes motile on contact with the medium in which fertilization takes place.
Details concerning the ratios of diluent and cryoprotectant used, freezing rate, storage and thawing techniques have been reviewed by Harvey and Hoar (1979).

 Ptiliid Spermatozoa
Spermatozoa within Ptiliidae vary greatly in size and design, and have proven to be useful characters when determining and defining species.
The authors also demonstrate how diagnostic characters of Bambara spermatozoa provide useful characters for identifying species.

 Male Reproductive 1
Spermatozoa are produced in the testes then transported from the testes by a series of ducts which become gradually larger and connect with the urethra of the penis.
The primary function of the male reproductive system is reproduction, which includes the production of spermatozoa, the transportation of spermatozoa from the testes out of the male body, the secretion by glands, and the placement of spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract.
Various accessory glands in the male system secrete materials which together with the spermatozoa constitutes the semen.

 Process and apparatus for sorting spermatozoa (US5514537)
The size of the smaller beads is chosen such that, on average, Y-chromosome spermatozoa will readily fit into the interstices between the smaller beads, while X-chromosome spermatozoa, on average, will not readily fit into those interstices.
Because of their different DNA content, Y-chromosome spermatozoa are slightly smaller than X-chromosome spermatozoa.
A method and apparatus are disclosed for the mechanical sorting of mammalian spermatozoa by sex-type, into a fraction enriched in X-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa, and a fraction enriched in Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa.

The whole thing is a bit too cumbersome to be taken in one go and as a whole as fragmentary as what it is suppose to portray, the contemporary United States in the turbulence of information revolution and the utopian and dystopian effects it has on the society trying to cope with it.
The music is primarily for avant-garde fans, but even a more conservative progressive rock fan may like some of the songs, or at least be struck by some of the bizarre imagery of Anderson's stories, such as that of spermatozoa the size of sperm whales swimming across the Pacific at mach 20.
Mister Heartbreak is often regarded as Anderson's artistic and popular peak.
