The male accessoryducts are vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens, and rete testis.They play an important role in the transport and temporary storage ofsperms. On the contrary, male accessory glands are seminal vesicles,prostate glands, and bulbourethral glands. These glands secretefluids that lubricate the reproductive system and sperms. The spermsget dispersed in the fluid which makes their transportation into thefemale body easier. The fluid is rich in fructose, ascorbic acid, andcertain enzymes.
