Q

MALE ACCESSORY SEX GLANDS

The accessory sex glands function to:

A
  1. nourish spermatozoa
    1. activate spermatozoa
    2. clear the urethral tract before ejaculation
    3. produce secretions that assist in transport to the female reproductive tract
    4. in some species (rodents), form a plug that helps retain spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract.
