Which glands add secretions to make semen?
The prostate gland secretes about 30% of the fluid, which mixes with the fluid from the seminal vesicle and the spermatozoa. The spermatic fluid or semen is formed by the secretions of the Testes, Seminal vescicles, Prostate gland and Bulbourethral gland. The sperms are secreted by the testes which pass through the vas deferns to seminal vescicles. The seminal vescicles contibute to about 70% of semen. The prostate gland and bulbourethral gland(Cowper's gland) further contibute to form semen.
Why prostate cancers are common in peripheral zone of prostate gland?
Because, anatomically, 70% of peripheral globe is composed of glandular glands. As prostate cancer is a adenocarcinoma (involving the glands of prostate), and peripheral lobe is mostly of glands, that is why it is more common in this lobe. On the other hand, this is the main target of male sexual hormones, which increases the chances for prostate cancer.

Urgency and frequent urination, especially at night, could indicate an enlarged prostate. This problem is very common among middle-aged men. Statistically, half of all men have some prostate enlargement by age 50, nearly all men by age 70. There are herbal supplements that can reduce the urinary effects of an enlarged prostate, including saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, lycopene, and pygeum. Most men's formula daily vitamins have a combination of some, or all of these herbs.
What male reproductive organ produces an alkaline secretion which helps sperm to live longer?
The accessory sex glands (such as seminal vesicles, prostate, and Cowper's glands) contribute fluid to semen. The seminal vesicles contribute to about 60-70% of the seminal fluid as they secrete their alkaline, white-ish, yellow, viscous material (which contains fructose, prostaglandins, and ascorbic acid). So, the seminal vesicles are the main contributor to the alkaline pH of semen. The prostate gland, however, also secretes materials (such as citric acid, fibrinolysin, prostatic acid phosphatase, and serine protease) which will make up about 25% of seminal fluid. Thus, the prostate gland also contributes to the alkaline pH of semen, but the seminal vesicles are the major players.
