These are a couple of spongy glands, 1 V2 to 2 inches long, that secrete high-sugar, acidic, and thick, ropy colloid into the ductus deferens (containing sperm from the testes) during ejaculation. The two fluids empty into the prostate, where they are mixed with alkaline prostatic fluids to form semen.
A male gland located at the superior end of the vas deferens, the primary source of the fluid of the semen.
One of two glands at the end of the vas deferens which secrete the fluid part of semen.
A pair of small structures in males, situated behind the bladder, that form the fluid that makes up most of the semen; this fluid mixes in the ejaculatory duct with sperm manufactured in the testes and fluids from the prostate gland.
Structure of the testicle that secretes an alkaline fluid into the ejaculatory duct.
Either of a pair of male accessory sex gland that open into the vas deferens before it joins the urethra. The seminal secrete most of the liquid component of semen.
One of the small paired sacs lying on either side of the male urethra, which collect and store spermatozoa.
One of two saccular glands below the urinary bladder in males. The duct from each joins the vas deferens on its own side to form the ejaculatory duct. The seminal vesicle produces an alkaline, fructose-rich secretion that enhances sperm motility and nourishes the sperm.
In males, a pair of glands located near the bladder that provide 60 percent of the fluid to semen.
One of the two sacs located behind the male bladder responsible for producing seminal fluid, which combines with sperm to form semen.
Two small sac-like glands connected to the rear part of the urinary bladder. The ducts from these glands merge with the ducts that transport semen from the testicles.
