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.
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.
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.
1. seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands
Most of the seminal fluid is produced by the seminal vesicles, as well as by the prostate gland and the bulbourethral gland.
No, seminal fluid is the liquid that carries sperm. Seminal fluid is typically clear or white in color and is produced by the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands, while sperm are tiny, tadpole-like cells that swim in the seminal fluid.
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.

The seminal vesicles and prostate gland produce a whitish fluid called seminal fluid

Seminal fluid and sperm
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.
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.
If you have a prostactectomy to get rid of it then you will not be able to father children because the prostate makes the seminal fluid. You cannot ejaculate without the seminal fluid.
bulbourethral glands are small round glands inferior to the prostate. They produce a thick, clear, alkaline mucus that drains into the membranous urethra.The secretion is used to neutralize acidic urine in the urethra just before ejaculation. This added alkaline fluid also somewhat protects the sperm from the acidity of the female reproductive tract.
The prostate produces the seminal fluid in which sperm is transported. Prostate cancer begins with changes in size & shape.
