Semen

The product of the male reproductive organs consisting of spermatozoa and fluid secretions from the prostate gland and other reproductive glands.


The fluid emitted from the penis during ejaculation at the point of orgasm. The semen is made up of sperm (manufactured by the testes, matured and stored in the epididymis, and transported via the vas deferens), fluids from the prostate gland, and secretions from the seminal vesicles.


Thick, whitish secretion discharged from the urethra during ejaculation. It contains spermatozoa and secretions of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and other glands.


The thick fluid that is internally secreted and discharged from the penis upon ejaculation. Semen contains millions of sperm, which can travel from the vagina and within the uterus into a fallopian tube and fertilize an egg. When semen is released by the penis into the vagina during sexual intercourse, pregnancy may result.


Fluid produced by the male on ejaculation from the penis at sexual orgasm. Each ejaculate contains up to 500 million spermatozoa (male germ cells) suspended in a fluid that is secreted by the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and Cowper’s glands a pair of small glands (also called the bulbo-urethral glands) that open into the urethra at the base of the penis. Semen, or seminal fluid, contains a form of sugar (fructose) essential for the motility of sperm. The hormone testosterone is a key element in the production of sperm and of seminal fluid.


A thick, opalescent, viscid secretion discharged from the urethra of the male at the climax of sexual excitement (orgasm). Semen is the mixed product of various glands (prostate and bulbourethral) plus the spermatozoa, which, having been produced in the testicles, are stored in the seminal vesicles.


A fluid made up of sperm and other secretions from the male reproductive organs.


The fluid that is released through the penis during orgasm. Semen is made up of sperm from the testicles and fluid from the prostate and other sex glands.


During sexual intercourse, a viscous milky fluid is discharged from the penis. This substance, comprised of sperm and various secretions, is commonly referred to as ejaculate.


The fluid released from the penis during ejaculation is known as semen. Semen is composed of fluid from the seminal vesicles, fluid from the prostate and Cowper’s glands, as well as sperm.


The dense, whitish liquid produced primarily by the testicles. It consists of sperm cells and secretions from the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and other glands.
