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.


The gland that produces a nourishing fluid for sperm?

The Prostate Gland secretes an alkaline fluid that helps the sperm live longer in the relatively acidic environment in the vagina. This helps neutralize the environment and allow the sperm to function and maximum capacity.


What does women's prostate do?

I found this answer in the Merck Manuals Online Edition: "The prostrate gland lies just under the bladder and surrounds the tube that carries urine from the bladder (the urethra). It produces the fluid in the semen that nourishes sperm. Walnut-sized in young men, the prostrate gland enlarges with aging."

What are the function of the prostate gland?

The prostate gland is a small, muscular, rounded organ about 4 cm (1.6 inches) in diameter. It encircles the proximal portion of the urethra as it leaves the urinary bladder. The prostate gland produces prostatic fluid, a slightly acidic solution that contributes 20-30 percent of the volume of semen. It also (although uncertain in significance), prostatic secretions contain seminalpasmin, and antibiotic that may help prevent urinary tract infections in males. These secretions are ejected into the prostatic urethra by peristaltic contractions of the muscular prostate walls

What gland produce prostrate secreation in the semen?

The fluid is derived from the prostate gland. The testicles inject sperm into the prostatic fluid and the cowper's gland shoots "pre-semen" into the urethra before ejaculation. It is extremely slippery and is a lubricant for the semen to flow freely. A rapid climax before excitement can be painful because the cowper's has not yet lubed up the tube.
