The glands that produce sperm are the testes. Prior to copulation, the sperm are stored and undergo further development in the epididymis, located on the testicles. For delivery, sperm are incorporated into seminal fluid produced by seminal vesicles, the prostate gland, and the bulbourethral gland, and ejaculated through the urethra of the penis. The process of forming sperm and other male sexual functions and characteristics are promoted by testosterone, the male sex hormone. [Pg.220]

The accessory sex glands of the male reproductive tract include the prostate, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral glands. These are highly androgen-dependent tissues that function primarily to produce the seminal fluids that compose semen. As in the... [Pg.820]

Fluid component of semen produced by the accessory glands, the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands. [Pg.214]

The male reproductive anatomy includes the penis, two testes, and a system of exocrine glands whose secretions form the seminal fluid. The exocrine glands consist of the two bulbourethral glands (Cowper s glands), two seminal vesicles, and the prostate. The bilateral ducts that connect this system and transport sperm and seminal fluid are the epididymis, the vas deferens, and the ejaculatory duct, which enters the urethra. [Pg.2097]

As long ago as 1935, Kutscher and Wolbergs (K12) observed that semen and the prostate are among the richest sources of acid phosphatase in the human body. In a more recent survey (Bll) the acid phosphatase activities of seminal plasma in various species, determined as milligrams of nitrophenol liberated by 100 ml seminal plasma from 0.006 M p-nitrophenyl phosphate, in 60 minutes at 37°C and pH 4.9 were human, 274,000 cock, 15,000 turkey, 4000 bull, 570 rabbit 85. Human seminal plasma is made up by the secretory fluids produced in the epididymides, vasa deferentia, ampullae, seminal vesicles, the prostate and the bulbourethral (Cowper s) and urethral (Littre s) glands (M4). The semen contains many particulate bodies. Best known, of course, are the spermatozoa, which are formed in the seminiferous... [Pg.89]
