Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Upon storage in the ampulla and epididymis, the sperm is ready to be released with the ejaculate. Sperm is carried in a solution of fluids called the seminal fluid. The seminal fluid contains essential nutrients and chemicals that help sperm in its pathway in the female reproductive tract.

Detailed explanation-2: -The prostate and the seminal vesicles produce fluid that nourishes the sperm. This fluid provides most of the volume of semen, the fluid in which the sperm is expelled during ejaculation. Other fluid that makes up a very small amount of the semen comes from the vas deferens and from Cowper glands in the urethra.
