## Summary

The seminal vesicles are two pouches that contribute to seminal fluid by producing additional alkaline fluid, prostaglandins and fructose, to add to that of the testes. 

They lie between the fundus of the bladder at their anterior surface and the rectovesical fascia/rectum at their posterior surface and combine with the vas deferens to form the ejaculatory duct that enters into the prostatic urethra.
