Semen consists of 2 components: the sperm component and a fluid component. Sperm is produced by the testicles. The fluid component is secreted by the prostate gland, bulbourethral (or Cowper's) glands, and seminal vesicles. The fluid component provides nutrition for the sperm as well as neutralizes the acidic environement of the urethra of the penis and the vagina of the female.
