Question

What are the function of seminal vesicle and prostate gland?

Answer 1

seminal gland:-

The seminal gland, more commonly referred to as the seminal vesicle, holds the liquid that mixes with sperm to form semen.Semen combines fluid elements from the epididymis, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and vas deferens. Each body part plays a key role in semen production. The fluids help the sperm swim towards the egg and keep the sperm nourished during the transit process.

This gland is located behind the bladder, above the prostate gland, and in front of the rectum. It is about two inches long, on average. This gland releases a fluid rich in sugars (especially fructose), which feeds the sperm. The fluid also has clotting properties that make the semen sticky. This ensures that the semen clings inside the vagina long enough for the sperm to travel to the egg.

Pain in the lower left section of the abdomen is an indicator that the seminal vesicle is inflamed. A dry orgasm is another symptom that can be caused by problems with the seminal vesicle. If the seminal gland is obstructed by inflammation, cysts, or calcification, the seminal fluid will not be released

prostate gland:-

The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ whose main function is to secrete prostate fluid, one of the components of semen. The muscles of the prostate gland also help propel this seminal fluid into the urethra during ejaculation .

The prostate is a muscular gland that weighs about three-fourths of an ounce (20 grams) about the size of a small apricot. It surrounds the urethra just beneath the bladder .

During ejaculation, millions of sperm move from the testes through tubes called the vas deferens into the area of the prostate. At this point, the prostate contracts, closing off the opening between the bladder and the urethra, releasing fluid into the urethra and pushing semen on through.

Answer 2

Seminal vesicles help nourish the sperm; secretes fructose (carbohydrate; provides the sperm the source of energy) and most of the seminal fluid. Secrete analkaline, fructose-rich fluid.Prostaglandins are also released by the seminal vesicles which represent about 60% of the volume of semen.

Seminal vesicle is attached to the vas deferensand lie at the base of the urinary bladder in males.
