Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Accumulation and secretion of extraordinarily high levels of citrate are principal functions of the prostate gland of humans and other animals. To achieve this, prostate secretory cells must possess unique metabolic relationships which distinguish them from virtually all other cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrinogen produced by seminal vesicle is acted upon by clotting enzymes produced by the prostate to form fibrin which clots the semen. A fibrin-degrading enzyme called fibrinolysin is also present in the secretions of the prostate.
