Prostate gland secretion helps neutralize seminal fluid because the prostate secretion is?
The prostate gland secretion helps neutralize seminal fluid because it is alkaline in nature. This alkaline fluid, which makes up a significant portion of semen, helps neutralize the acidic environment of the urethra and vaginal tract, providing a more hospitable environment for sperm survival and motility. Additionally, the alkaline nature of prostate secretion may also help protect sperm from the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract.

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.
What is prostate secretion?
Prostate secretion is called semen. It is a fluid with a milky appearance and helps to nourish and carry the sperm via penis (from testicles) during ejaculation. Prostatic secretion actually mixes with semen. The secretion liquefies the semen to allow it move through the penis during ejaculation.
