The male reproductive system has an endocrine secretion (testosterone) and 4 exocrine secretions in semen: sperm, seminal vesicle fluid (60%), prostatic fluid (25%), and an alkaline secretion from the Bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands that neutralizes the acidic male urethra and secretes mucous that lubricates the urethra and glans. Endocrine secretions are released in the blood and exocrine secretions are released externally, not into the blood stream.
