what are the three accessory glands in the male reproductive system?
prostate gland, urethra, and bulbourethral glands
urethra, bladder, and seminal vesicles
testis, epididymis, and vas deferens
adrenal gland, pancreas, and liver
seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands
The male reproductive system's accessory glands are responsible for producing fluids that nourish and transport sperm. The urethra is a duct, not a gland. The bladder is part of the urinary system. The testis is a primary reproductive organ (produces sperm), epididymis stores sperm, and vas deferens transports sperm—none are accessory glands. The adrenal gland, pancreas, and liver are not part of the male reproductive system. The seminal vesicles produce a fluid rich in fructose (energy for sperm), the prostate gland secretes a milky - white fluid that activates sperm, and the bulbourethral glands produce a clear, viscous fluid that lubricates the urethra and neutralizes acidity.
