Seminal vesicle
From Free net encyclopedia
(Redirected from Seminal vesicles)
Template:Infobox Anatomy The seminal vesicles are a pair of glands posterinferior to the urinary bladder of males. They secrete a significant proportion of the fluid that ultimately becomes semen. About 60% of the seminal fluid in humans originates from the seminal vesicles.
Seminal vesicle secretions contain proteins, enzymes, fructose, phosphorylcholine and prostaglandins.
The duct of the seminal vesicle enters the prostate gland along with the ductus deferens (the tube coming from the testis). They join to form the ejaculatory duct.
