The testes make sperm which is stored in the epididymis. When one ejaculates the sperm is released and mixed with seminal(milky) fluid from the prostategland. This is now called SEMEN.

Is semen a cell or tissue?

Semen is technically defined as a tissue. The only cellular component in semen is sperm cells. The remainder of semen consists of secretions from the seminal vessicles, Cowper's gland, and the prostate gland. These secretions are not cellular in nature, but aid in the survival ability of the sperm to increase the chance for fertilization.


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.

What are copious secretions?

Ejaculants such as male semen produced in sexual reproduction are a good example of copious secretions. The fluid substance called semen excreted from the male gonad glands during male sexual orgasm in humans is produced in relatively large quantities forcefully ejected from the penis in a notably short burst of time. See also copious ejaculate and copulation.

What are Secretions of glands combined with sperm?

Semen is the fluid that contains sperm cells, (sperm cells don't secrete fluid). During ejaculation sperm passes through the ejaculatory ducts and mixes with fluids from the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands to form the semen.
