The seminal vesicles are elongated (~ 1–2 × 6 cm), paired male accessory sex glands which lie, one on each side of the midline, posterior to the urinary bladder, superior to the prostate and lateral to the vas deferens. There is moderate variation among individuals in how and precisely where the seminal vesicles join the vas deferens to form the ejaculatory ducts as well as the extent to which each gland coils upon itself. When the connective tissue binding the coils is cut, the glands usually unravel to form tubular structures (~ 15 cm long) composed of a mucosa, muscularis and adventitia. |
