The seminal vesicles
Semen is made in the prostate. No gland-no semen.
the seminal vesicles
Semen is actually a mixture of secretions from seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper's gland.
if it does so,then the sperms produced by testies will not get proper nutrition and will affect the flow of sperms from urethra.the ejaculatory fluid produced by prostate gland helps sperms to transport smoothly.the rate of quantity of semen will also be decreased from which an individual may get depressed.thats all.
Fluids from the prostate gland and the Cowper's gland combine with sperm cells in the seminal vesicles to make semen.
Prostate gland
prostate and bulbourethral gland
You can produce semen without a prostate gland, but its contents will be slightly different. Semen contains fluids from the testicles, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands). Only about 25-30% of the volume of semen comes from the prostate.
The prostate gland secretes about 30% of the fluid, which mixes with the fluid from the seminal vesicle and the spermatozoa. The spermatic fluid or semen is formed by the secretions of the Testes, Seminal vescicles, Prostate gland and Bulbourethral gland. The sperms are secreted by the testes which pass through the vas deferns to seminal vescicles. The seminal vescicles contibute to about 70% of semen. The prostate gland and bulbourethral gland(Cowper's gland) further contibute to form semen.
The fluid is derived from the prostate gland. The testicles inject sperm into the prostatic fluid and the cowper's gland shoots "pre-semen" into the urethra before ejaculation. It is extremely slippery and is a lubricant for the semen to flow freely. A rapid climax before excitement can be painful because the cowper's has not yet lubed up the tube.
the average man has around 3 tablespoons of semen he can ejaculate.
Semen is technically defined as a tissue. The only cellular component in semen is sperm cells. The remainder of semen consists of secretions from the seminal vessicles, Cowper's gland, and the prostate gland. These secretions are not cellular in nature, but aid in the survival ability of the sperm to increase the chance for fertilization.
