Somatic and autonomic nervous systems are the two main components of the peripheral nervous system based on the capability to manage the movements of the muscles voluntarily. This article reviews the most important and interesting differences exhibited between somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
Men with normal sperm counts could improve their odds of success in ART by abstaining for up to 10 days. However, more than 10 days of sexual abstinence should not be recommended; beyond this time frame, the fertility potential may be undermined, the study team advised.1.

Researchers found that the men with fertility problems who took 5 mg of folic acid a day and 66 mg of zinc sulfate a day for 26 weeks had a 74% increase in total normal sperm count and a minor (4%) increase in abnormal sperm count. No significant increases were found among the healthy men's sperm counts. The study author says that's most likely due to the greater variability in sperm count in these men compared with the men with infertility. When either zinc or folic acid was taken alone, there was no significant effect on sperm production.
