Secretions from which one of the following are rich in fructose, calcium and some enzymes?
A
Male accessory glands
B
Liver
C
Pancreas
D
Salivary glands
Detailed Solution
The male accessory glands include the paired seminal vesicles, the prostate and the paired bulbourethral glands.
Their secretions constitute the seminal plasma, which is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes.
Fructose provides energy to the sperms.
The liver secretes bile, the pancreas secretes pancreatic juice and the salivary glands secrete saliva; none of these is rich in fructose.
Hence the secretions are from the male accessory glands.
