    The document discusses the functions of fluids from glands associated with the male reproductive system. The prostate gland secretes an alkaline fluid that makes up 70% of seminal volume, providing lubrication and nutrition for sperm. The seminal vesicles secrete a thick seminal fluid containing fructose, proteins, acids, minerals, and prostaglandins, comprising most of the seminal volume ejaculated.

    The main function of the prostate gland is to secrete an alkaline fluid that comprises
    approximately 70% of the seminal volume. The secretions produce lubrication and
    nutrition for the sperm.
    The secretion of the seminal vesicles constitutes the bulk of the seminal fluid (semen). It
    is a thick fluid that contains the sugar fructose, proteins, citric acid, inorganic phosphorus,
    potassium, and prostaglandins.
