A German physician some time since advanced the theory that the two testicles and ovaries produce elements of different sexual character, the right testicle forming zoosperms capable of producing only males, and the right ovary producing ova with the same peculiarity. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
The fully developed zoosperms are suspended in a transparent, gelatinous fluid, which, mingled with the secretion of the prostate gland and other fluids which it meets during its expulsion from the body, constitutes the _semen_. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
A microscopic examination shows this matter to be composed largely of zoosperms, which decides its origin. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
At the same time, the testicles of the male fish, which are contained within the abdominal cavity, become distended with developed zoosperms. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
Ova are not formed in such large numbers as zoosperms. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
When the female seeks a place to deposit her eggs, the male closely follows; and as she drops them upon the gravelly bottom, he discharges upon them the zoosperms by which they are fecundated. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
As all the exquisite details of the most beautiful flower are in essence contained within the tiny bud which first makes its appearance, so is the developed human being, the full-grown man or woman, virtually contained within the tiny cell called the ovum after it has been impregnated or fecundated by the zoosperms. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
After a time, each granule acquires a long appendage, and then the cell has become converted into a bundle of small zoosperms. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
One more caution should be offered; viz., that the occasional presence of spermatozoa in the urine is not a proof of the existence of internal emissions, as a few zoosperms may be left in the urethra after a voluntary or nocturnal emission, and thus find their way into the urine as it is discharged from the bladder. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
-- The zoosperms not only come in contact with the ovum, but penetrate the thin membrane which incloses its contents, and enter its interior, where they disappear, becoming united with its substance. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
Some claim that the zoosperms are matured in these organs. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
It may come in contact with the zoosperms at any point between the ovary and the lower orifice of the uterus, and thus undergo fecundation. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
-- The uterine life of the new individual begins with the impregnation of the ovum, which occurs the instant it is brought in contact with the zoosperms of the male. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
In the mule, the zoosperms are either entirely absent or else very imperfectly developed; hence the fact that a colt having a mule for its sire is one of the rarest of curiosities, though a few instances have been reported. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
If copulation occurs, however, zoosperms are brought into the cavity of the uterus, and, coming in contact with the ovum, fecundate it. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
-- Ova are not formed in such large numbers as zoosperms. ❋ Unknown (1877)
The fully developed zoosperms are suspended in a transparent, gelatinous fluid, which, mingled with the secretion of the prostate gland and other fluids which it meets during its expulsion from the body, constitutes the semen. ❋ Unknown (1877)
