Detailed explanation-1: -Along the way sperm is nourished by a sugary fluid from the Prostate gland which is the most common site for cancer in men, and fluid from the Cowper’s gland which are two small glands located near the bladder. These fluids, plus the sperm cells combine to form semen, the fluid ejaculated from the penis during orgasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seminal vesicles and prostrate glands secrete a mucus and alkaline fluid called semen that nourish the sperms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Located at the base of the bladder, the two seminal vesicles secrete a thick fluid that nourishes the sperm.
Detailed explanation-4: -They then pass through a long tube, called the ductus deferens, or vas deferens, to another storage area, the ampulla. The ampulla secretes a yellowish fluid, ergothioneine, a substance that reduces (removes oxygen from) chemical compounds, and the ampulla also secretes fructose, a sugar that nourishes the sperm.
