Solution

Seminal vesicles:

  • Seminal vesicles are a pair of elongated, muscular and irregular pouches. These are found between the urinary bladder and the rectum joined to vas deferens to form ejaculatory ducts.
  • Seminal vesicles secrete a whitish alkaline fluid that majorly constitutes semen.
  • This provides a medium for activating sperm and neutralizes the acidic environment of the urethra of males and genital tract of the female.

Hence, seminal vesicle and semen.
