Gametes - The Spermatozoon (Cambridge Reviews in Human Reproduction)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... well written ... well illustrated ... will provide a useful source of information, particularly for trainees in obstetrics, gynaecology and androcology, and especially for those intending to subspecialise in reproductive medicine, for whom it should be essential reading'. Stewart Irvine, British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology
'... provides an integrated and multidisciplinary view of the spermatozoon ... a valuable asset to the field of reproductive biology, andrology and reproductive medicine'. Helen D. Nicholson, Experimental Physiology
'A mine of information about spermatozoa ... a single source of detailed review written by scientists who have all made distinguished contributions in their respective specialisms. Few volumes achieve this quality, whilst at the same time remaining portable enough to be carried around easily and read on the train.' W. V. Holt, Journal of Anatomy
Book Description
This volume, and its companion volume on the oocyte, provide a wide-ranging analysis of the gametes and their reproductive role in humans. The authors give a detailed account of the spermatozoon that includes particularly helpful information on male infertility and its treatment. The book starts with an evolutionary perspective before focusing on the molecular and cellular biology of the sperm cell and its structure and function. It describes the development and maturation of sperm and their movement and transport in the male and female genital tract. It also covers practical issues such as sperm storage and assisted contraception. This volume will be an essential source of information for all clinicians and scientists with an interest in human reproduction.
