148. According to the new WHO criteria, all are true in a normal person except:
a. Sperm count > 20 million
b. Volume > 1 ml
c. Normal morphology in > 15 % (strict criteria)
d. Aggressive forward motility in > 25 %

Answer: B.Volume > 1ml(most probably)

Reference: Table on page 217, <a href="http://www.rxpgonline.com/forum93.html">Gynaecology </a>
Dutta 3rd edition

And also found this table from a search on the WHO site...

The World Health Organization (7) suggests the
following for normal semen analysis values:

• Volume >2 ml
• Sperm concentration 20 million/ml or more
• Sperm motility >50% or more with forward progression, or 25% or more with rapid progression within 60 minutes of ejaculation
• Sperm morphology 15% or more normal forms
• White blood cells fewer than 1 million/ml
• Sperm mixed antiglobulin reaction (MAR) test fewer than 10% spermatozoa with adherent particles

this question is probably a direct pick from harrisn pg.2188:
about semen analysis,it says,
"the normal ejaculate volume is 2 to 6 ml,contains sperm count of>20 million/ml,with a motility>50%,and greater than 15%normal morphology.."

that makes the answer as D. FORWARD MOTILITY>25%..

krugers criteria are strict criteria, that can be used for morphology

Semen Analysis: At least two semen samples collected by masturbation on separate days are recommended. Each sample should be
collected after abstaining from ejaculation for at least 48 hours, but not longer than five days. The complete ejaculate should be collected
in a sterile container provided by the clinic or laboratory and should be examined within one hour of collection. Components
of the semen examination and normal values are detailed below:

Liquefaction (conversion into a liquid): complete within 60 minutes
Appearance: homogeneous, gray-opalescent ejaculate
Volume (amount): ³ 2 milliliter
Consistency: Not viscous (not thick)
Morphology (structure): ³ 30% have normal shape*
> 14% have normal shape**
Concentration: ³ 20 million per milliliter
Total count: ³ 40 million sperm per ejaculate
Motility (movement): ³ 50% at one hour
pH (acidity): ³ 7.2
White blood cells: < 1 million per milliliter
[/b]

*Normal morphology values according to World Health Organization criteria.
**Normal morphology values according to Kruger
Criteria. It should also be noted if there is agglutination (clumping or sticking together) of sperm.
