Understanding Seminal Vesicles: Key to Male Reproductive Health
Men's health: Understanding the seminal vesicles. These small, sac-like glands play a crucial role in semen production and are located within the pelvis, below the bladder and above the prostate.
Each seminal vesicle is a single, coiled tube with pouches branching off it. It's composed of three layers: an inner layer of specialized cells, a middle layer of smooth muscle tissue, and an outer layer of connective tissue. These glands produce and store fluid that, when mixed with other secretions, forms semen.
