Does the bulbourethral gland secrete semen?
Probably not . . . they produce a clear fluid that preceeds male ejaculation in order to lubricate the urethra, neutralize traces of acidic urine, and generally clean the urethra out prior to ejaculation. There are 2 of them, each side of the base of the penis, and are commonly know as Cowper's glands.
Which structures are responsible for producing semen?
Semen consists of 2 components: the sperm component and a fluid component. Sperm is produced by the testicles. The fluid component is secreted by the prostate gland, bulbourethral (or Cowper's) glands, and seminal vesicles. The fluid component provides nutrition for the sperm as well as neutralizes the acidic environement of the urethra of the penis and the vagina of the female.
What are all the organism that are produces?

What 4 organs that produce a secretion that becomes a part of the semen?
Several glands are involved in producing semen. The testes create the sperm cells. The prostate gland creates most of the liquid in the semen. The cowper's glands also produce some of the liquid. The seminal vesicles hold the mixture until ejaculation.
What is semen made out of?
Composition of human semenDuring the process of ejaculation, sperm passes through the ejaculatory ducts and mixes with fluids from the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands to form the semen. The seminal vesicles produce a yellowish viscous fluid rich in fructose and other substances that makes up about 70% of human semen.[1] The prostatic secretion, influenced by dihydrotestosterone, is a whitish (sometimes clear), thin fluid containing proteolytic enzymes, citric acid, acid phosphatase and lipids.[1] The bulbourethral glands secrete a clear secretion into the lumen of the urethra to lubricate it.[2] Sertoli cells, which nurture and support developing spermatocytes, secrete a fluid into seminiferous tubules that helps transport sperm to the genital ducts. The ductuli efferentes possess cuboidal cells with microvilli and lysosomal granules that modify the semen by reabsorbing some fluid. Once the semen enters the ductus epididymis the principle cells, which contain pinocytotic vessels indicating fluid reabsorption, secrete glycerophosphocholine which most likely inhibits premature capacitation. The accessory genital ducts, the seminal vesicle, prostate glands, and the bulbourethral glands, produce most of the seminal fluid.Seminal plasma of humans contains a complex range of organic and inorganic constituents.The seminal plasma provides a nutritive and protective medium for the spermatozoa during their journey through the female reproductive tract. The normal environment of the vagina is a hostile one for sperm cells, as it is very acidic (from the native microflora producing lactic acid), viscous, and patrolled by immune cells. The components in the seminal plasma attempt to compensate for this hostile environment. Basic amines such as putrescine, spermine, spermidine and cadaverine are responsible for the smell and flavor of semen. These alkaline bases counteract the acidic environment of the vaginal canal, and protect DNA inside the sperm from acidic denaturation.(Source wikipedia)Semen is made up mostly of seminal fluid, which is a combination of dead epithelial cells, fructose, mucus, proteins, and enzymes and prostatic fluid, which is white milky mucus and contains prostate specific antigen, proteolytic enzymes, acid phosphotase and lipids. The Cowper's glands add a clear fluid.
What accessory glands contribute to the seminal plasma for the man?
The accessory glands that contribute to seminal plasma in men include the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands. These glands secrete fluids that make up the majority of semen volume and provide nutrients and enzymes for sperm survival and function.
What is semen and pre-ejaculate fluid?
Cum is called Ejaculate and is 90% water and the rest is Semen which is milky opalescent, and opaque. Opalescence increases when the ejaculate has a higher concentration of sperm. 65% of the semen arises from the seminal vesicles,35% of the semen comes from the prostate. It is the semen from the prostate that gives semen its characteristic smell and the remaining 5% is of other fluids (citric acid, free amino acids, fructose, enzymes, phosphorylcholine, prostaglandin, potassium, and zinc). When a man orgasms he ejaculates between 1 and 5 milliliters of semen. The average is 2 to 3 milliliters (a small teaspoon) Pre-cum is pre-ejaculate (also known as pre-ejaculatory fluid or Cowper's fluid), it is a clear lubricating fluid that is issued from a man's penis when he is aroused.
Is it bad if semen is yellowish?
No it is not bad, Its acually common. Heres a brief explanation of how t works. During sexual arousal the prostate gland manufactures fluid that accounts for about 2/3 of the volume of ejaculate. The seminal vesicles are paired structures located behind the prostate gland that also manufacture fluid. Sperm from the testicles (which account for only 1-2% of the semen) travel up a series of tubes (epididymis and vas deferens) on each side to join the seminal vesicles forming the paired ejaculatory ducts. These structures empty into the prostatic portion of the urethra. At the time of ejaculation, fluid is discharged from the prostate gland and ejaculatory ducts into the urethra (urinary canal) forming the semen. The normal semen volume is in the 2-6 cc range. In addition to this, with the onset of sexual excitement, specialized glands in the urethra called Cowper glands, produce a clear, somewhat sticky fluid to lubricate the urethra. this is called this pre-ejaculate (precum). Normally the semen is somewhat viscous, opalescent and whitish gray in color. However, depending on many factors including frequency of ejaculation, diet, general health, etc., the volume, consistency and color of the semen can vary. A yellow cast to the semen, as you have noted, is very common and a variation of normal. If you take multivitamins, this may be a cause. Although there is no need to be medically concerned, stopping the vitamin supplement may help. Thickened semen usually occurs if one ejaculates infrequently and is due to concentration of that portion formed in the seminal vesicles. Occasional clear semen is not a specific sign of disease. A brown or red tint to the semen is a sign of bleeding, usually from the prostate gland. Although prostate bleeding is generally of a benign nature, it is best to have this evaluated by a urologist.

You got hit in the testicles and now your semen is yellow is that bad?
YES but they will probably heal themselves Seminal vesicles are paired structures located behind the prostate gland. Sperm from the testicles (which account for only 1-2% of the semen) travel up a series of tubes on each side to join the seminal vesicles forming paired ejaculatory ducts. These structures empty into the urethra. At the time of ejaculation, fluid is discharged from the prostate gland and ejaculatory ducts into the urethra (urinary canal) forming the semen. Trauma can change this. In addition to this, with the onset of sexual excitement, specialized glands in the urethra called Cowper glands, produce a clear, somewhat sticky fluid to lubricate the urethra. this is called this pre-ejaculate (precum). Normal semen is somewhat viscous, opalescent and whitish gray in color. However, with certain factors including frequency of ejaculation, general health, diet, trauma and medications etc., the volume, consistency and color of the semen can and will vary. A yellow cast to the semen, is quite common and within normal. If you take multivitamins, this can be a cause. Thickened semen usually occurs if one ejaculates infrequently and is due to concentration of that portion formed in the seminal vesicles. Occasional clear semen, is not a specific sign of disease. A brown or red tint to the semen is a sign of bleeding, usually from the prostate gland but could be from the trauma. It is best to have this evaluated by a urologist.
Why do you have to add fluid to transmission 2 weeks after flush?
Because you either have a leak or someone did it wrong.
