The seminal vesicleis a male-specific structure which is about 2 inches or 5 centimeters long and is located behind the urinary bladder and above the prostate gland. The seminal vesiclesare also called glandulae vesiculosae or vesicular glands. The seminal vesicles are composed of a pair of simple tubular glands.
The seminal vesicleis a very important organ in the male. The importance of the seminal vesicle lies in that the seminal vesiclessecrete a significant proportion of the fluid which ultimately becomes semen.
The two seminal vesiclescontribute about 60 percent of the fluids passed from the human male during ejaculation. That is to say, the secretion of the seminal vesiclesconstitutes the bulk of the semen. It is a thick fluid that contains the sugar fructose.
Generally speaking, seminal vesiculitisisan inflammation of the seminal vesicles. Although it may occur independently, seminal vesiculitis is most often secondary to prostatitis.

∙ 10y agoSeminal vesicle is a paired gland, one is situated on either side of the prostate gland. They contract rhythmically during ejaculation. Their secretion forms the bulk of the semen and has a nutritive function for the sperms.

What part of the sperm will use the seminal vesicle secretions?
All portions of millions of spermatazoa (sperm cells) float in and are nourished by semen that comes from the seminal vesicle.
What is the process of recording the epididymis and seminal vesicle?
The only way I know of to record the epididymis and seminal vesicle is through ultrasound, so the process would be ultrasonography.
What is the difference between prostate gland and seminal vesicle?
The seminal vesicle contains a sugary substance that gives the sperm energy and the Prostate gland provides alkaline fluid which helps protect the sperm from the acidity of the vagina
What Is the difference between seminal vesicle prostate gland and Cowper gland?
seminal vesicle: provides the sperm with a sugary substance, providing it with energycowpers gland: lubricates spermprostate gland: provides sperm with alkaline fluid to protect it from the acidity of the vagina
Why sperm to be bathed with fluid fromthe prostate gland and seminal vesicle?
Sperm cells need to be bathed with fluids from the prostate gland and seminal vesicle. The seminal glands supply fluid that carries the sperm along and the seminal vesicle supplies fluid that helps the sperm to survive better in the vagina.
What part of the sperm will use the seminal vesicle secretions?

What is the differences between the cat and the human seminal vesicle?
Cats do not have seminal vesicles therefore there is no difference.
What is the process of recording the epididymis and seminal vesicle?
The only way I know of to record the epididymis and seminal vesicle is through ultrasound, so the process would be ultrasonography.
What provides fructose for sperm?
The seminal vesicles, which are accessory glands of the male reproductive system, produces fructose. This sugar is essential for the survival of sperm cells.
