What does SEMEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The whitish fluid produced by the male reproductive system that carries sperm cells.
Semen forms in several glands inside a man's body, which add nutrients and a protective liquid around the sperm before they are released together during ejaculation. Only a small fraction of the total volume is actually made up of sperm, with the rest serving to nourish and carry them forward. Doctors and biologists examine a sample under a microscope to check sperm count, movement and shape when investigating fertility. Beyond reproduction, semen appears throughout medical, veterinary and biological writing wherever this fluid is discussed directly.
