Detailed explanation-1: -The bulbourethral gland or Cowper’s gland, which is homologous to the Bartholin’s gland in females, produces a pre-ejaculate that cleanses and lubricates the urethra prior to the arrival of the semen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Cowper’s glands, also known as bulbourethral glands, [1, 2, 3] are a pair of small exocrine glands of the male reproductive system, located in the urogenital diaphragm, deeply located posterolateral to the membranous (or bulbous) portion of the urethra, and below the apex of the prostate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The key difference between bulbourethral gland and prostate gland is that the bulbourethral gland is a pea-sized small gland located just below the prostate gland, but a prostate gland in a walnut-sized gland located below the urinary bladder in the male reproductive system.
