What is the function of the secretions of the prostate, seminal vesicle and bulbourethral glands in reproduction?
These secretions with sperm cells from the testicles form the semen. The secretions have the function of nourishing the sperm cells and serving them as a fluid means of propagation. The basic pH of the seminal fluid also neutralizes the acid secretions of the vagina permitting the survival of sperm cells in the vaginal environment after copulation.
