The seminal vesicles are convoluted pouch-like structures lying posterior to the base of the urinary bladder, in front of the rectum. They secrete an alkaline viscous fluid containing fructose, prostaglandins and fibrinogen that make up about 60% of the fluid volume of semen. Its alkaline pH helps to neutralize the acidic vaginal pH, and the fructose is used by the sperm to produce ATP. The prostaglandins enhance sperm motility, and fibrinogen, when activated, coagulates the semen to keep all the sperm cells from dispersing immediately after ejaculation.

Pair of sac secrete fluid into ejaculatory duct?
The pair of glands that secrete fluid into the ejaculatory duct are the seminal vesicles. These glands produce a significant portion of the fluid that makes up semen and helps nourish and protect sperm. The fluid they produce is rich in fructose, which provides energy for the sperm.
What provides fructose for sperm?
The seminal vesicles, which are accessory glands of the male reproductive system, produces fructose. This sugar is essential for the survival of sperm cells.
What reproductive structure secretes a substance to nourish sperm cells?
The seminal vesicles secrete a fluid rich in fructose and other nutrients to nourish sperm cells. This fluid is released during ejaculation and helps provide energy for the sperm to travel and fertilize the egg.
What is secreted by the seminal vesicles prostate and the bulbourethral glands?
The seminal vesicles secrete a fluid rich in fructose and prostaglandins to nourish and support sperm. The prostate gland secretes a milky fluid that enhances sperm motility and viability. The bulbourethral glands secrete a clear mucus-like fluid that helps lubricate the urethra and neutralize any acidic urine residue.
What does the seminal vesicles do in a earth worm?

The seminal vesicles produce more than half of the seminal fluid. They secrete a fluid rich in fructose, which provides energy for sperm motility, as well as other substances that support sperm function and survival.
