Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cowper's glands, also known as bulbourethral glands, produce a clear fluid that is released prior to ejaculation. This fluid neutralizes any acidic urine remaining in the urethra and lubricates the urethra for easier passage of sperm during ejaculation. Some semen may also be present in this pre-ejaculate fluid, which can potentially lead to pregnancy. The prostate gland produces a milky fluid that contributes to semen, but it is not typically released prior to ejaculation. The epididymis is a structure located on the testes where sperm mature, but it does not produce any fluids. Interstitial cells are also known as Leydig cells, and they are located in the testes where they produce testosterone, but they do not produce any fluids related to ejaculation or pregnancy.
