Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm cells depend on seminal fluid to keep them moving and alive. This fluid is produced during ejaculation by accessory glands : the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -The accessory glands, including the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland, provide fluids that lubricate the duct system and nourish the sperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your prostate contributes additional fluid to your semen (ejaculate). Ejaculate is a whitish-gray fluid that releases from your penis when you orgasm. The fluid contains enzymes, zinc and citric acid, which help nourish sperm cells and lubricate your urethra (pronounced “yer-ree-thruh”).

Detailed explanation-4: -Seminal fluid mixes with fluids produced by the prostate and bulbourethral glands. The seminal fluid provides nutrition and protection for sperm during its journey through the female reproductive tract.
