Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bulbourethral glands, also called the Cowper's glands, are located on either side of the membranous urethra in males. They secrete a clear, viscous fluid that helps to lubricate and neutralize any acidic urine remaining in the urethra prior to ejaculation. The prostate gland is located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the seminal vesicles are located behind the bladder and secrete a fluid that contributes to semen, and the testicular glands produce and secrete sperm.
