What is the Role of the Seminal Vesicles and the Prostate Gland

Answer: In human males, the seminal vesicle forms an accessory gland whose fluid secretion results in activation of the sperms.

Role of seminal vesicle:

• Produces the necessary fluids that eventually convert into semen
• Supplies protection and required nutrition to the sperm

The prostate gland is a part of the reproductive system in human males that envelopes the urethra. It passes an alkaline secretion to the semen when it flows through the urethra.

Role of the prostate gland:

• Stores the fluid that transports and nourishes the seminal fluid
• Make sure that the sperm is firmly pressed into the prostatic urethra
