The gland described in the question is the prostate gland. The ejaculatory gland (also known as the vas deferens) carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. The seminal gland (also known as the seminal vesicle) secretes a fluid that contributes to semen. The bulbo-urethral gland (also known as Cowper's gland) secretes a fluid that helps to lubricate the urethra during sexual arousal.
