Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The prostate gland secretes a slightly alkaline fluid that is milky or white in appearance and makes up a portion of semen that is enriched in zinc and contributes to the alkalinity of semen that helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract to prolong the lifespan of sperm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Function. The seminal vesicles secrete a significant proportion of the fluid that ultimately becomes semen. Fluid is secreted from the ejaculatory ducts of the vesicles into the vas deferens, where it becomes part of semen. This then passes through the urethra, where it is ejaculated during a male sexual response.
