Talk:Semen (human)

This article is being started as I have been reading about male fertility and I thought it would be a good additon to our health science articles. It's a very rough draft and I woud welcome any other authors. Nancy Sculerati 14:21, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

D. T. Carrell:SEMEN ANALYSIS AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY: AN EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL USES OF NEW SPERM FUNCTION ASSAYS. Archives of Andrology, Volume 44, Issue 1 January 2000 , pages 65 - 75 standard semen analysis is low cost and does provide useful information in evaluating male infertility, but does not specifically investigate the ability of sperm to (1) bind to the zona pellucida (2) penetrate the zona and the oocyte membranes or (3) evaluate the sperm's ability to undergo post-pentration events. This is a review article that discusses limitations of standard analysis and presents functional assays.
