Yes, seminal fluid is an exocrine secretion produced by the male reproductive system. It is a combination of fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands that help nourish and transport sperm.

What are four exocrine secretions?

The male reproductive system is responsible for the production of four exocrine secretions. These secretions are sperm, seminal fluid, prostatic fluid and bulbourethral fluid.


What are four exocrine secretions in the male reproductive system?

The male reproductive system has an endocrine secretion (testosterone) and 4 exocrine secretions in semen: sperm, seminal vesicle fluid (60%), prostatic fluid (25%), and an alkaline secretion from the Bulbourethral (Cowper's) glands that neutralizes the acidic male urethra and secretes mucous that lubricates the urethra and glans. Endocrine secretions are released in the blood and exocrine secretions are released externally, not into the blood stream.


What substance does not secrete make up seminal fluid?

The substance that does not contribute to seminal fluid is testosterone. Seminal fluid is primarily composed of seminal vesicle fluid, prostate fluid, and sperm from the testes. Hormones like testosterone are involved in sperm production rather than the secretion of seminal fluid.


Why does prostate gland secretion help neutralize seminal fluid?

Semen lives in a chemically "base" environment. Exposure to an acid environment would kill it. Urine is an acid. Fluid from Cowper's gland neutralizes any uric acid in the urethra. Actually the seminal fluid is acidic and the secretion from the prostste gland is alkaline so it neutralizes the fluid.


Prostate gland secretion helps neutralize seminal fluid because the prostate secretion is?

The prostate gland secretion helps neutralize seminal fluid because it is alkaline in nature. This alkaline fluid, which makes up a significant portion of semen, helps neutralize the acidic environment of the urethra and vaginal tract, providing a more hospitable environment for sperm survival and motility. Additionally, the alkaline nature of prostate secretion may also help protect sperm from the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract.
