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.

The prostatic urethra is surrounded by prostate tissue, which contributes to the fluid component of semen during ejaculation. In females, the urethra is much shorter and does not have a prostatic segment.
