Semen is slightly basic, with a normal pH ranging from 7.2 to 8.0. The alkaline nature of semen helps to neutralize the acidic environment of the vagina, thus promoting the survival and motility of sperm.
Basically, the alkaline pH of the seminal fluid is to protect the sperm. This is necessary for a couple of reasons: - The vagina is slightly acidic, while the sperm are made to be in an alkaline environment. If they had no alkaline protection from the semen itself, they'd die when they hit the vagina, which kills the entire (evolutionary) point of having sex. - Urine is acidic, and there's often some leftovers from some previous peeing in the urethra. The semen neutralizes the urine, lettin gthe sperm go through without dying.
the average pH of semen is 7.2-8.0 thus semen is slightly more basic, but still considered to be in the neutral range. you can read more information at: http://www.umc.sunysb.edu/urology/male_infertility/SEMEN_ANALYSIS.html == == == ==
No, semen is actually alkaline in nature to help neutralize the acidic environment of the vagina and provide a more favorable environment for sperm survival and motility.
sometimes the urine get acidic or semen get acidic which gives burning sensation.
Yes! Semen is normally a milky white or cream color.
Yes
Not normally once semen production has started it will keep on producing into old age.
A woman's vagina is alkaline (acidic). A man's semen is basic.
A cow's mouth typically has a pH ranging between 6.5 to 7.5, which is slightly acidic to neutral. The pH may vary slightly based on factors such as diet and overall health of the cow.
If you drop semen on red litmus paper, it will turn blue due to its basic pH. If you drop semen on blue litmus paper, it will remain blue or possibly turn slightly more blue due to the alkaline nature of semen. Semen typically has a higher pH level, making it basic in nature.
No. It should always be white or clear. Yellow semen indicates problems with the prostate gland.
