seminal vesicle in dogs

Either of a pair of glandular pouches that lie one on either side of the male reproductive tract posterolateral to the urinary bladder and in the human male secrete a sugar- and protein-containing fluid into the ejaculatory duct. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the seminal vesicle is

Either of a pair of glandular pouches that lie one on either side of the male reproductive tract posterolateral to the urinary bladder and in the human male secrete a sugar- and protein-containing fluid into the ejaculatory duct. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the seminal vesicle is

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the seminal vesicle connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of testis.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the seminal vesicle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as seminal gland, glandula seminalis, glandula vesiculosa, gonecyst, vas efferens and vesicula seminalis, and 5 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the seminal vesicle?

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the seminal vesicle connect to?

Part of: testis.

Is the seminal vesicle the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
