What is a cowpers gland?
A Cowper gland (also called a bulbourethral gland) is one of two small exocrine glands in the reproductive system of most male mammals. they are each about the size of a pea in humans, located below the prostate gland, which secrete as part of the ejaculate a clear fluid which helps lubricate the urethra.
What surrounds the urethra at the base of the bladder producing milky alkaline fluid?
The paired BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS (COWPER'S GLANDS) are tiny pea-sized glands located inferior to the prostate gland, on each side of the urethra. They produce a thick, clear mucus which is released prior to ejaculation when a male first becomes sexually aroused. The secretion is alkaline, so it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra. It also serves as a lubricant during sexual intercourse.

What is a gland that produces a fluid that helps keep sperm alive?
The prostate is the major one but the bulbourethral glands also secrete some components.
The pituitary gland is also known as the?
The pituitary gland is also known as the hypophysis gland.
What are the Two glands on either side of the bladder that secrete seminal fluid called?
Seminal fluid is comprised of secretions produced by the prostate gland, the bulbourethral glands, and the seminal vesicles. I believe you are asking about the pair of pea-sized bulbourethral glands, also known as Cowper's glands, that lie just beneath the prostate.
What 4 organs that produce a secretion that becomes a part of the semen?
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.

What gland is also known as the supercharge?
Endocrine glands.
What is the compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland also known as?

Master gland of the endocrine system?
pituitary
Where is the master gland of the body?
The pituitary gland is also known as the "master gland". It is housed in hypophyseal fossa, a depression in the sphenoid bone which is found in the skull.
What does the bulbourethral gland produce?
The main function of the bulbourethral or cowper's gland is to produce and release the "pre-cum" to rid the urethra of any acidic urine. The clear fluid neutralizes urine in the urethra so that when a man ejaculates, the sperm in the semen are not destroyed by acidic urine leftover in the urethra. The whole purpose of ejaculation is to send healthy sperm out of the male and into the female reproductive system for fertilization; this can't happen if the sperm come into contact with acidic fluids. The bulbourethral glands (also known as the cowper's glands) are male sexual glands. They are located below the prostate and discharge a component of the seminal fluid into the urethra. During sexual intercourse each gland produces a secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter. It is possible for this fluid to pick up sperm, and carry them out prior to the next intercourse.
