Solution

Seminal plasma is the fluid in which the sperms are bathed. It contains secretions from male accessory glands (ie, seminal vesicles, prostate gland and bulbourethral glands). Seminal fluid contains fructose, citrate, inositol, prostaglandins and several proteins. Prostate secretes a thin, milky fluid that contains calcium, citrate ions, phosphate ions, a clotting enzyme and a profibrinolysin.
