Cleanup date October 2007 Sperm motility describes the ability of sperm to move properly towards an ovum egg . This can also be thought of as the quality of the sperm, which is a factor in successful pregnancies , as opposed to the quantity . Sperm which do not properly swim , will not reach the egg in order to fertilize it. Sperm motility in mammals also facilitates the passage of the sperm through the cumulus oophorus and zona pellucida , which are a series of layers that surround the ovulated egg cell plasma membrane of a mammalian oocyte . For example, in the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus , sperm aggregates form mobile trains that possess an enhanced fertilization capability because they are better suited to navigate the viscous environment of the female reproductive tract. The trains move in a sinusoidal motion, individual spermatozoa have impaired fertilization capacity. It may also depend upon the effectiveness of sperm motility in response to certain factors released from eggs. The migration of sperm through the female reproductive tract internal fertilisation or in water external fertilisation to reach the egg is key to successful fertilization. ref cite book author Quill, A.

ICD10 ICD9 ICD9proc 89.32 OPS301 OPS301 1 313 MeshID OtherCodes An esophageal motility study EMS or esophageal manometry is a test to assess motor function of the Upper Esophageal Sphincter UES , Esophageal body and Lower Esophageal Sphincter LES . Indications An EMS is typically done to evaluate suspected disorders of motility or peristalsis of the esophagus. These include achalasia , esophageal spasm diffuse esophageal spasm , nutcracker esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter . These disorders typically present with dysphagia , or difficulty swallowing, usually to both solids and liquids even initially. Other patients with spasm disorders may have the test done to diagnose chest pain thought not to be of cardiac cause. The test is not useful for anatomical disorders of the esophagus that is, disorders that distort the anatomy of the esophagus , such as esophageal stricture peptic strictures and esophageal cancer . Procedure A technician places a catheter into the nose and guides it into the stomach. Once placed, the catheter is slowly withdrawn, allowing it to detect pressure changes and to record information for later review. The patient will be asked at various times to take a deep breath or to take some swallows of water. The degree of discomfort varies among patients. Patients are not sedated because sedatives would alter the functioning of the esophageal muscles. Overall the procedure takes about 45 minutes. After the procedure is complete, patients can usually resume their normal daily activities.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date October 2008 The Enterogastric reflex is one of three extrinsic reflexes of the Gastrointestinal Tract . The reflex is stimulated by the presence of acid levels in the duodenum at a pH of 3 4 or in the stomach at a pH of 1.5. Upon stimulation of the reflex, the release of gastrin from G cells in the antrum of the stomach is shut off. This in turn inhibits gastric motility and secretion of gastric acid HCl . In addition to the Enterogastric reflex, the other two extrinsic reflexes of the Gastrointestinal Tract include the Gastrocolic reflex and the Colonoileal reflex . Enterogastric reflex activation thus, causes decreased motility. Emptying inhibitory factors are Duodenal acidic pH, Duodenal distension, Duodenal hypertonicity, sympathetic stimulation, Intense pain Emptying stimulatory factors are Parasympathetic stimulation, Increased volume and fluidity of gastric contents.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Hyperactivation is a type of Spermatozoon sperm motility . Hyperactivated sperm motility is characterised by a high amplitude, asymmetrical beating pattern of the sperm tail flagellum . This type of motility may aid in sperm penetration of the zona pellucida , which encloses the ovum . Hyperactivation could then be followed by the acrosome reaction where the cap like structure on the head of the cell releases the enzymes it contains. This facilitates the penetration of the ovum and fertilisation. Some definitions consider sperm activation to consist of these two processes of hyperactivation and the acrosome reaction Hyperactivation is a term also used to express an X chromosome gene dosage compensation mechanism and is seen in Drosophila. Here, a complex of proteins bind to the X linked genes to effectively double their genetic activity. This allows males XY to have equal genetic activity as females XX , whose X s are not hyperactivated. Mechanisms Mammalian sperm cells become more active when they approach an egg cell in a process called sperm activation . Sperm activation has been shown to be caused by calcium ionophores in vitro , progesterone released by nearby cumulus cells and binding to ZP3 of the zona pellucida. The initial change is called hyperactivation , which causes a change in spermatozoa motility. They swim faster and their tail movements become more forceful and erratic. A recent discovery links hyperactivation to a sudden influx of calcium ion into the tails. The whip like tail flagellum of the sperm is studded with ion channel s formed by proteins called CatSper . These channels are selective, allowing only calcium ion to pass. The opening of CatSper channels is responsible for the influx of calcium. The sudden rise in calcium levels causes the flagellum to form deeper bends, propelling the sperm more forcefully through the viscous environment. Sperm hyperactivity is necessary for breaking through two physical ... more details

The Law of the Gut states The peristaltic wave of gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction begins at the mouth oral end and moves to the anus anal end . Exceptions The Law of the Gut does not apply during the act of vomiting . During vomiting, anti peristaltic waves travel in the reverse direction. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as the Anti Law of the Gut. The anti peristaltic waves may begin in the ileum and travel backwards at a rate of 2 3 cm second. The anti peristaltic action is capable of pushing contents of the lower small intestine back to the duodenum in 3 5 minutes.

The stereocilia of the epididymis are structures which aid in absorption. They are long cytoplasmic projections but have no motility. Unlike the stereocilia of the ear , those in the epididymis are more like long microvilli that cover the open surface of the epididymis.
