The human sperm cell was modeled as a long cylinder with length 40.2 µm and a radius of 0.42 µm, which translates to isotonic (initial) sperm cell volume (Vo) of ~22.3µm^3 and effective membrane surface area for water transport (Ac) of ~106µm^2 as reported in the literature (Curry 1996 PMID 8949890 BNID 106852) |
