THE SEMINAL VESICLES
These are two membranous pouches located posterior to the bladder,between this organ and the rectum. Recently it has been shown that the seminal vesicles produce secretions containing fructose, amino acids, mucus, and small amounts of some vitamins. During ejaculation, these substances are added to the semen at the time spermatozoa are transported to the ejaculatory ducts from the vas deferens. The fructose and other substances contained in the seminal fluid provide nutrients and protection for the spermatozoa. All the various secretions added to the semen increase its bulk.
