This is called the seminal vesicle (actually there are two). The thick fluid is a sugar and protein mix.

Semen is the fluid that contains sperm cells, (sperm cells don't secrete fluid). During ejaculation sperm passes through the ejaculatory ducts and mixes with fluids from the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands to form the semen.
Sex cells are spermatozoa. Sex organs are the penis, testicles and various glands that secrete fluid in addition to the sperm released from the testes to produce semen.
Probably not . . . they produce a clear fluid that preceeds male ejaculation in order to lubricate the urethra, neutralize traces of acidic urine, and generally clean the urethra out prior to ejaculation. There are 2 of them, each side of the base of the penis, and are commonly know as Cowper's glands.
Several glands are involved in producing semen. The testes create the sperm cells. The prostate gland creates most of the liquid in the semen. The cowper's glands also produce some of the liquid. The seminal vesicles hold the mixture until ejaculation.
Seminal fluid is basically just semen minus the sperm.
That is the fluid called semen, the male ejaculate.
The male reproductive glands missing in a cat but are present in humans are the seminal vesicles. They are glands that secrete a significant amount of fluid that becomes the semen.

The testes and the prostate add fluid to semen
One of the essential male genital glands which secrete the semen.
The seminal vesicles are a pair of glands. Each opens into the vas deferens. These glands secrete many of the components of semen, but all "seminal fluid" is not semen. Seminal vesicle fluid is typically ejaculated first. Semen, which is simply fluid is the primary ejaculate, but semen is NOT sperm. Only occasionally will sperm be found in the seminal vesicles, but millions of sperm are found in the fluid called semen. When the seminal vesicle fluid contains some sperm, this sperm has lower motility and very poor survival. The sperm in semen, though, should show high motility and survival rates.

Seminal fluid (also known as, semen)
Probably not . . . they produce a clear fluid that preceeds male ejaculation in order to lubricate the urethra, neutralize traces of acidic urine, and generally clean the urethra out prior to ejaculation. There are 2 of them, each side of the base of the penis, and are commonly know as Cowper's glands.
The seminal vesicles are small glands under the prostate on the male reproductive tract. They product a yellowish mucous-y fluid that is added to sperm from the testes to become semen.
This fluid is called semen.
The glands that add other fluids to the sperm to make semen are located in, or near, the prostate gland. One of these is the bulbourethral gland.
