45. Semen
Hi guys I am back with another video , in this video we will be understanding more about the semen or knowing more about the semen , so what is semen ? Semen is the fluid that is secreted from the male reproductive organs that contains the sperm cells . Now the consistency of semen is in a gelatinous form and why is that ? It is gelatinous because of the secretion from the Cowper’s gland , it thins out due to the secretion of proteolytic enzymes from the prostate . What exactly is the semen made of ? It consist of sperms from the vas deferens , seminal vesicles fluid , prostatic fluid and also the secretions from the bulbourethral glands also known as Cowper’s gland . The alkaline secretions from the seminal vesicles along with the secretions from the prostate which is slightly acidic in nature makes the semen slightly alkaline in nature which helps in countering the acidity of the vagina during sexual intercourse . So this is all about semen , in the next video we will understand the formation of sperms in a little bit more details. See you in the next video , thank you !
