Question

What is the role of the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland?

Answer 1

The secretions from seminal vesicles and prostate glands lubricate the sperms and provide a fluid medium for easy transport of sperms. Their secretion also provides nutrient in the form of fructose, calcium, and some enzymes.

Answer 2

Seminal vesicles are a pair of glands in males that secrete mucus and a watery alkaline fluid containing fructose into the vas deferens. The prostate gland secretes an alkaline fluid that makes up about one-third of the semen volume. This fluid helps neutralize vaginal pH, allowing sperm to move smoothly within the vagina.
