A
  1. seminal vesicle
  2. prostate gland
  3. bulbouethral gland
18
Q

what do the accessory glands do

A

they all produce decrection to dilute, mature and protect the sperm

19
Q

what does the seminal vessicle do?

A

provides nutrition and mobility

20
Q

what does the prostate do?

A

it thins out the sperm for movement and adds critic acid for energy

21
Q

what does the bulbouethral gland do?

A

it neutralizes acidic uthera and lubrication

22
Q

what is the scrotum?

A

a flap (sac) that houses the testes
