Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semen is a combination of sperm and secretions from the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral glands. It is alkaline in nature to protect the sperm as they travel through the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract. Semen also contains prostaglandins, which are important for initiating contractions in the female reproductive tract to help move the sperm towards the egg, as well as various nutrients to provide energy for the sperm.
