viscous fluid rich in Urinary bladder fructose, forming parts of the seminal fluid and nourishes the sperms.

25
Q

Which part of the Seminal vesicle forms its ducts?

A

Lower end

26
Q

33
Q

The prostate’s primary function is to

A

both sides of the beginning of the penile part of the urethra

37
Q

The bulbo-urethral glands produces what

A

38
Q

The bulbo-urethral glands fluid function is to

A

lubricate the urethra and to neutralize any acidity that may be present due to residual drops of urine in
the urethra.

39
Q
