seminal vesicles	60-80%	akaline and gelatinous fructose, amino acids ,enzymes, prostaglandins seminogelin
prostate	15-30%	acidic and watery contains zinc, citric acid, phosphate,proteolytic enzymes.
bulbourethral gland	2-5%	viscous and clear galactose, mucus,IgA,mucoproteins
testis, epididymis, vas deferens	5%	spermatozoa, carnitine ,inhibin.
