Semen is produced and originates from the seminal vesicle, which is located in the pelvis. The process that results in the discharge of semen is called ejaculation. Semen is also a form of genetic material. In animals, semen has been collected for cryoconservation. Cryoconservation of animal genetic resources is a practice that calls for the collection of genetic material in efforts for conservation of a particular breed.
The measure of this brightness is the luminance in candela per square metre6. 2.4.1 Luminance and Brightness We have used the terms luminance and brightness interchangeably.
One steradian on a sphere with a diameter of one metre gives a surface of one m 2 (see the section on candela). From this, it follows that at a measuring distance of 1 metre, the values for candela (lumen per steradian) and lux (lumen per m 2) are the same. In general, measurements in lux can be converted to and from candelas if the measurement distance is known.
