The main functions of male accessory ducts and glands are as follows:

1. Functions of accessory ducts:

(i) Rete Testis: They transport sperms from seminiferous tubule to Vas efferentia.

(ii) Vas efferentia: Transports sperms to epdidymis.

(iii) Epididymis: Sperms are stored here. Maturation of sperms occurs.

(iv) Vas deference: Transports sperms from the epididymis to the urethra.

2. Functions of glands:

(i) Prostate gland: It produces milky secretion which forms a considerable part of the semen. It makes sperm motile.

(ii) Bulbourethral gland: Its secretion makes the penis lubricated.

(iii) Seminal vesicle: It secretes mucus and watery alkaline fluid which provide energy to the sperm.
