Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gland described is the seminal vesicle, which produces a secretion that contains fructose, is slightly alkaline, and contributes about 60 percent to the volume of the semen. The prostate gland secretes a milky, slightly acidic fluid, the bulbourethral gland secretes a clear, mucous-like fluid, and the corpus cavernosum is a spongy tissue that fills with blood during an erection. The preputial gland is found in some animals and secretes a smegma-like substance.
