Question

Seminal plasma has sperm and secretion of
a. Prostate, Cowper’s gland and Bartholin's gland
b. Seminal vesicle, Prostate and Cowper’s gland
c. Seminal vesicle, Ureter and Prostate gland
d. Follicle, Ureters and Prostate gland

Answer 1

Semen consists of spermatozoa suspended in seminal plasma, a fluid medium. Seminal plasma is the semen 's fluid component, secreted before and during ejaculation by both the epididymis and the accessory glands. Seminal plasma is a complex fluid that acts as a means of transporting ejaculated spermatozoa from the testes to the oocyte target.

Complete answer:
Not only does seminal plasma carry the spermatozoa, but it also provides the spermatozoa with defence and nutrients during their onward travel in the female reproductive tract. Seminal plasma consists of various biochemical components that are essential for sperm function and metabolism, such as glucose, cholesterol, proteins, metabolites, intracellular and antioxidant enzymes, and mineral elements. Paired seminal vesicles, a prostate and paired bulbourethral Cowper's glands are part of the male accessory glands. The seminal plasma, which is high in fructose, calcium and some enzymes, makes up the secretions of all these glands. The seminal plasma and the sperm make up the semen.

Often known as the vesicular or seminal glands, the seminal vesicles are a pair of glands located in the male pelvis that contain many of the semen components. However, it is noteworthy that the first fractions of expelled semen contain predominantly spermatozoa and prostatic secretions; the late ejaculate fractions comprise fluids from the seminal vesicles. Enzymes have been suggested as semen quality markers for the estimation of minerals because they indicate the role of spermatozoa and sperm damage. The effect of stallion seminal plasma on the function and survival of ejaculated spermatozoa during in vitro storage and in the female genital tract is affected by the function and survival of ejaculated spermatozoa during in vitro storage and in the female genital tract.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: Seminal plasma contains a wide range of biochemical components and enzymes, but the glands responsible for the synthesis of these biochemical components have not yet been described. The role of different seminal plasma components in the regulation of sperm capacitation has been documented during acrosome reaction and gamete interaction.
