Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: 20-150 million
Concept:

A high volume of sperm is required in an ejaculate to ensure that at least a few survive the hostile environment of the female reproductive tract to reach the ovum.

Solution:

  • During ejaculation, about \(2\) to \(5 \text{ ml}\) of semen is expelled.


  • The average normal sperm concentration ranges from \(20\) to \(150 \text{ million}\) sperms per milliliter (ml).


  • A count below \(20 \text{ million}/\text{ml}\) is generally considered oligospermia and can lead to fertility issues.


Why other options are incorrect:

Counts in the thousands or below 10 million are clinically abnormally low and do not represent the healthy physiological average.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
