Applicability of hydrodynamic analyses of spermatozoan motion

AP Yundt, WJ Shack and TJ Lardner

This paper investigates the applicability of a simple hydrodynamics theory due to Gray & Hancock (1955), and extended by Brokaw (1970), to the analysis of the motions of sea urchin, rabbit, and bull spermatozoa. Experimental procedures for filming and analysing the swimming motions are presented. A detailed discussion of the agreement between the experimental and theoretical results is given, and the limitations of the theory in analysing the motion of mammalian spermatozoa are discussed.
