"The duration of the whole spermatogenesis in man is about 64 days (BNID 110319). The duration of one cycle of the germinal epithelium is about 16 days, and it is estimated that there are four cycles (BNID 110319 comments section). The spermatozoa Survival time in terms of fertility is about 1.5-72 h, and
in terms of mobility, it is about 48-72 h (primary source, p. 163)." |
