Survival time of sperm factors

Dear doctors,
My question to you is a theoretical one, as I couldn't find the answer on the internet.
Regarding the question:
Does ejaculate volume or sperm concentration significantly contribute to the survival time of sperm in the uterus, or are primary factors such as sperm quality decisive for survival time?
A brief answer would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards.
Dear questioner,
both are important.
The total number of healthy, mobile sperm ultimately determines the success of fertilization. It is essentially the product of quantity and quality. After ejaculation, sperm must travel a long distance, so mobility is important. Today, we know that the quality of sperm depends on a variety of environmental factors, such as the man's lifestyle. The same applies to sperm survival time.
I hope this information has been helpful to you.
