The structure that lies posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum and secretes an alkaline, fructose filled fluid is the seminal vesicles. The prostate gland lies inferior to the bladder and surrounds the urethra, while the bulbourethral gland is located inferior to the prostate and secretes a clear, viscous fluid. The spongy urethra is the portion of the male urethra that passes through the penis, while the prostatic urethra is the portion that passes through the prostate gland.
