The seminal vesicles are convoluted pouch-like structures lying posterior to the base of the urinary bladder, in front of the rectum. They secrete an alkaline viscous fluid containing fructose, prostaglandins and fibrinogen that make up about 60% of the fluid volume of semen. Its alkaline pH helps to neutralize the acidic vaginal pH, and the fructose is used by the sperm to produce ATP. The prostaglandins enhance sperm motility, and fibrinogen, when activated, coagulates the semen to keep all the sperm cells from dispersing immediately after ejaculation.
