| If a pipette is labeled (TC) " to contain " you would do the following: | View Page |
| Random Error Random error occurs because of extremely small variables in testing that are not easily managed, such as strictly defined sample size or exact pipette delivery. Random error affects the precision of a test. Random error also occurs when an inappropriately collected specimen is used for testing.

| Which of the following statements are true for the viscosity of semen? | View Page |
| Viscosity Most semen is somewhat viscous. Liquefaction should be complete before viscosity is assessed.
Semen viscosity can be determined by trying to draw the specimen into a wide bore pipette. Normal semen can be dropped from a pipette in single droplets. Some laboratories report viscosity on a scale from 0-4. Others report the results as "non-viscous", "slightly viscous", "very viscous" and so forth.
A specimen that is more viscous than normal after liquefaction may have reduced sperm motility. During sexual intercourse, hyperviscosity can prevent the sperm from reaching the cervix. | View Page |
