Which Gland is Also Called the Cowper Gland and Supplies

Question

Which gland is also called the Cowper gland and supplies only about 5% of the seminal fluid?
A) seminal vesicle
B) prostate gland
C) bulbourethral gland
D) ejaculatory gland

Accepted Answer

The gland also called the Cowper gland is the bulbourethral gland, which is responsible for producing and supplying a small amount (about 5%) of the seminal fluid. The seminal vesicle and prostate gland are responsible for producing and supplying the majority of the seminal fluid (around 65-75% and 20-30%, respectively). The term "ejaculatory gland" is not commonly used to refer to any specific gland in the male reproductive system.
