Question

what type of environment does sperm need to survive and how is the male body adapted to provide this environment?

Answer 1

The internal body temperatures are too high to produce viable sperm that is why the testes lie outside the abdominal cavity of the male within the scrotum. They begin their development in the abdominal cavity but descent into the scrotal sacs during the last 2 months of fetal development.

In the body of an average male, there are two testicles located in a sac called the scrotum. On top of these organs is the epididymis, the "housing area" for sperm that has been produced.

During ejaculation, sperm leaves the penis in a fluid called seminal fluid. This fluid is produced by 3 types of glands, the seminal vesicles, the prostate gland, and Cowper's glands. Each component of a seminal fluid has a particular function. Sperm are more viable in a basic solution, so seminal fluid has a slightly basic pH. Seminal fluid also acts as an energy source for the sperm, and contains chemicals that cause the uterus to contract.

The normal environment of the vagina is a hostile one for sperm cells, as it is very acidic (from the native microflora producing lactic acid), viscous, and patrolled by immune cells. The components in the seminal plasma attempt to compensate for this hostile environment. Basic amines such as putrescine, spermine, spermidine and cadaverine are responsible for the smell and flavor of semen. These alkaline bases counteract the acidic environment of the vaginal canal (which is harmful to sperm), and protect DNA inside the sperm from acidic denaturation.

Answer 2

The testicals are the best enviroment. It must not be too cold or too hot. This is why when it's cold the testes will contract and become closer to the body to keep the sperm alive. If it's too hot the testes will drop away from the body to cool down. During ejaculation the male secretes a lubricant to protect the sperm. The vagina also secretes a lubricant to protect the sperm from harsh acids in the vagina so they can make it safely to the egg.

Answer 3

The best environment is when the woman has a lot of slick cervical mucus. And the male produces seamen to protect the sperm.

Answer 4

LOL, not a strange question. In fact, my husband has a claus in his advance directives/ Will which entitles me to his sperm for the purpose of banking it for future children. We were told that in the event something happens we would have to inform the doctors right away! There is a short window to work with. Something about body temp dropping.

Answer 5

Sperm needs an enviroment exactly like a man´s goolies to survive.

The male body is adapted to provide this environment by hosting a pair of goolies....

Answer 6

I assume you mean the human male. The vagina of the human female is quite acidic and hostile to the male sperm. The componets of semen are sperm and seminal plasa. Within the seminal plasma are alkaline bases which protect the sperm in this acidic and hostile enviornment. Seminal plasma is produced in the male from the seminal vesicle, prostate, and bulbourethral glands.

Answer 7

sperrm requires a low temperature environment like room temp. to reach full maturation. naturally the testes are forced out of the body of infant males to be suspended in the scrotal sacs. in contrast, ovaries stays in the womb and functions well with body heat. males are advised to avoid excessive heat

Answer 8

Your question is nuts.
