Solution

Each point: 1 Mark

1. Seminal vesicles are a pair of thin walled muscular elongated sacs which secrete fluid for nourishment of sperms.
2. Bulbourethral gland secretes pre-ejaculate fluid which lubricates and cleanses the urethra prior to introduction of sperms.
3. Prostate glands also produce fluid which is released in the urethra along with secretion of seminal vesicle and help in sperm mobility. The secretion of accessory glands together with sperm is called semen. It affects the vaginal pH so that sperms move smoothly inside the vagina.
