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 prostate gland is located just below the bladder in men and surrounds the top portion of the tube that drains urine from the bladder (urethra). The prostate’s primary function is to produce the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm (seminal fluid).
Detailed explanation-3: -Production of fluid for semen: The prostatic secretion is important for the proper functioning of the sperm cells, and therefore also for fertility in men. The thin, milky liquid contains many enzymes such as the prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This enzyme makes the semen thinner.
