The final accessory glands to add fluid to semen, sometimes called Cowper's glands, are the:
ABulbourethral glands
BSeminal vesicles
CProstate glands
DSertoli glands
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Bulbourethral glands
1. Semen receives contributions from three accessory glands in sequence: seminal vesicles, prostate, then a final gland.
2. This final gland releases a thick, salty lubricating fluid, sometimes called pre-ejaculate.
3. This pair of glands is called the bulbourethral glands, also known as Cowper's glands.
4. So bulbourethral glands is correct.
