Describe the origin and importance of substances found in semen?
Semen comes from the testes, prostate gland, and cowper's gland, and is stored in the seminal vesicles until it is released from the penis.The testes make sperm cells (and testosterone and some oxytocin too, though not relevant to this discussion). They travel up the vas deferens, the ducts that carry the sperm cells to the seminal vesicles.The seminal vesicles are a mixing and storage area for semen.The Cowper's glands produce what is known as preejaculate. That helps lubricate and clear the urethra as well as neutralize acidity from any residual urine.The prostate gland creates the milky fluid that the sperm cells use for travel. This fluid also nourishes and protects the sperm cells on their journey to the egg cell.
What happens if you heat semen in a microwave?
It will kill the sperm in the fluid called semen.
What happens when you boil sperm?
it will bubble! That is gross, but if you want to know what will happen: Sperm are actually very sensitive to temperature, a change of just 2or 3 degrees can denature the sperm, cause damage, or even be fatal- so boiling live sperm will kill and destroy it immediately. The seminal fluid, which contains the sperm is made of mostly water- so just like any other aqueous fluid it will bubble and boil.

When does a man release Cowper's fluid?
Cowper's fluid, also known as pre-ejaculate, is typically released from the Cowper's gland (located near the urethra) during sexual arousal before ejaculation. This fluid can help to lubricate the urethra and neutralize any residual acidity in the urethra, preparing it for the passage of sperm during ejaculation.
Empties a secretion into the prostatic urethra?
bulbourethral glands are small round glands inferior to the prostate. They produce a thick, clear, alkaline mucus that drains into the membranous urethra.The secretion is used to neutralize acidic urine in the urethra just before ejaculation. This added alkaline fluid also somewhat protects the sperm from the acidity of the female reproductive tract.
