What is the role of the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland?

The secretions from seminal vesicles and prostate glands lubricate the sperms and provide a fluid medium for easy transport of sperms. Their secretion also provides nutrient in the form of fructose, calcium, and some enzymes.

Along the path of the vast difference, gland like the prostrate and the seminal vesicles add their secretions so that the sperms are now in a fluid which makes their transport easier and this fluid also provides nutrition.

The seminal vesicle is the accessory gland in human males whose secretion activates the sperms. The secretions of the seminal vesicles are alkaline, slimy and its P^H is about 7.4. Prostate gland is a bilobed structure which surrounds the urethra close to its origin from the bladder. It pours an alkaline secretion into the semen as it passes through the urethra. Its secretions activate the sperms and prevent the semen from coagulating.
