Seminal fluid is mainly produced by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles to transport sperm into the female genital tract. This fluid is slightly alkaline (with a pH of 7-8) in order to neutralise the acidic vaginal secretions thus promoting survival of the sperm.

The problem with this answer is that it's wrong. the pH of blood, not cells, is 7.4. The internal cellular pH is more acidic than the surrounding blood and tissue fluid; it ranges between 6.8 and 7.2. If the pH rises (if the cell becomes basic), phosphate and calcium can precipitate (as in bone formation, for example), and the cell will die.

Is seminal fluid acidic?
yes
What do you call the fluid that protects sperm from acidity in the urethra?
A fluid that protects sperm from acidity in the urethra is seminal fluid. Seminal fluid is created in several locations, then is stored and secreted from the gonads.
What is the importance for the seminal fluid is alkaline?
It protects the sperm from harmful acidity in the vagina.
What is the normal PH value of intraocular fluid?
the normal PH value of intraocullar fluid is 7
What is Alkaline Fluid?
Type your answer here...Alkaline fluid is a purified liquid with a ph of 7.0 or higher up to ph 14...below ph 7.0 turns in to acidic fluid.
Are there any parts of the body that has a different pH then 7.4?
Yes, for instance the pH of seminal fluid is 7.29.
What gland produces seminal fluid?
The seminal vesicles and prostate gland produce a whitish fluid called seminal fluid
Gland produces a fluid component of seminal fluid?
The glands that produce a fluid component of seminal fluid are called seminal vesicles. They also lubricate and nourish the sperm.
Can fluid get you pregnant?
seminal fluid can.
How does semen differ from seminal fluid?
Seminal fluid is basically just semen minus the sperm.
What male reproductive organ produces an alkaline secretion which helps sperm to live longer?
The accessory sex glands (such as seminal vesicles, prostate, and Cowper's glands) contribute fluid to semen. The seminal vesicles contribute to about 60-70% of the seminal fluid as they secrete their alkaline, white-ish, yellow, viscous material (which contains fructose, prostaglandins, and ascorbic acid). So, the seminal vesicles are the main contributor to the alkaline pH of semen. The prostate gland, however, also secretes materials (such as citric acid, fibrinolysin, prostatic acid phosphatase, and serine protease) which will make up about 25% of seminal fluid. Thus, the prostate gland also contributes to the alkaline pH of semen, but the seminal vesicles are the major players.
Seminal fluid is?
yes
What are the structure that produce seminal fluid?
The seminal vesicle
What is fluid that protect sperm is called?
Seminal fluid.
What is the fluid that contains millions of sperm?
Seminal fluid does.
What is primarily produced by the seminal vesicles and prostate gland?
Seminal fluid and sperm
Seminal fluid contains?
Sperm.
