Question

State whether the following statements are true or false .
Accessory glands like seminal vesicles contribute to the fluid substance of the seminal fluid.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The male reproductive organ consists of mainly 3 accessory glands, i.e. seminal vesicles, prostate gland and the bulbourethral gland. The secretions from the seminal vesicles are viscous and contain fructose, calcium and prostaglandins. These stimulate uterine contractions, which helps the sperm to move towards the ampulla. The prostate glands secrete a milky fluid, which contains a little citric acid, lipids, bicarbonates, enzymes and fibrinogen. Prostatic fluid increases sperm motility.

So the correct option is 'True'.
