Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Side View of the Prostate The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. During ejaculation, the prostate squeezes this fluid into the urethra, and it’s expelled with sperm as semen. The vasa deferentia (singular: vas deferens) bring sperm from the testes to the seminal vesicles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrinogen produced by seminal vesicle is acted upon by clotting enzymes produced by the prostate to form fibrin which clots the semen. A fibrin-degrading enzyme called fibrinolysin is also present in the secretions of the prostate.
