Question

Write a short note on accessory glands in females.

Answer 1

Accessory glands:

1. Accessory Glands are a pair of vestibular or Bartholin's glands that appear on either side of the vaginal entrance and are responsible for moistening the vagina.
2. During sexual arousal, these glands release a clear, viscous fluid similar to the male Cowper's gland.
3. During copulation and parturition, this fluid acts as a lubricant.
4. Each typical female has two mammary or milk-producing glands (breast) and is in charge of the secretion of milk.
