Bulbourethral glands or Cowper’s glands are a component of the male reproductive system. They are not as well known as the testes or the ductus deferens; however, their contribution is very important. Their basic function is to contribute fluid to the ejaculate, which we will explore further.

Bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s glands, Mery glands) are paired compound tubuloalveolar glands that secrete a mucoid material into the penile urethra. The epithelial cells are pyramidal to columnar with a microvillous surface.
Cowper's glands secrete glycoproteins during sexual stimulation, which functions as a lubricant for the semen. In response to sexual stimulation, the bulbourethral glands secrete an alkaline mucus-like fluid.
