Solution

Seminal vesicles:

  1. The seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches that attach the vas deferens near the base of the bladder.
  2. The seminal vesicles produce a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy and helps with the sperm's motility.
  3. This fluid makes up most of the volume of a male's ejaculatory fluid or ejaculate.
