Most species of placental mammals have bulbourethral glands, but they are absent in Caniformia and Cetacea. They are the only accessory reproductive glands in male monotremes. Placental mammals usually have one pair of bulbourethral glands, [3] while male marsupials have 1–3 pairs. [3] [4] [5] Of all domesticated animals, they are absent only ...
The male accessory glands are the ampullary gland, seminal vesicle, prostate, bulbourethral gland, and urethral gland. [5]The products of these glands serve to nourish and activate the spermatozoa, to clear the urethral tract prior to ejaculation, serve as the vehicle of transport of the spermatozoa in the female tract, and to plug the female tract after placement of spermatozoa to help ensure ...

Seminal fluid continues down the ejaculatory duct into the prostate gland, where an alkaline prostatic fluid is added. [4] This addition provides the texture and odor associated with semen. [ 4 ] The alkalinity of the prostatic fluid serves to neutralize the acidity of the female vaginal tract in order to prolong the survival of sperm in this ...
(Deep perineal pouch not labeled, but is between the "superior layer" and "inferior layer" labeled at bottom left.) Vertical section of bladder , penis , and urethra . ( Cowper's gland and membranous portion of urethra visible at center bottom.)
The upper part gives rise to the urinary bladder and the pelvic part gives rise to the prostatic and membranous parts of the urethra, [1] the prostate and the bulbourethral glands (Cowper's). The phallic portion gives rise to the spongy (bulbar) part of the urethra and the urethral glands (Littré's).
Three accessory glands provide fluids that lubricate the duct system and nourish the sperm cells. Seminal vesicles: two glands behind the bladder that secrete many of the semen's components. Prostate gland: a gland located below the bladder that produces seminal fluid and helps regulate urine flow.
