Question

Which gland in males corresponds to a female’s Bartholin gland?
(a)Inguinal gland
(b)Prostate gland
(c)Cowper’s gland
(d)Rectal gland

Answer 1

Hint: They are a pair of exocrine glands in the form of peas located posterolateral to the membranous urethra. They contribute by generating a lubricating mucus secretion to the final semen amount. A bulbourethral gland, also named.

Complete answer:
Two pea-sized compound alveolar glands situated slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina are the Bartholin glands (also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands). To lubricate the vagina, they secrete mucus and are homologous to the bulbourethral glands in males. For the movement of the ejaculate, the bulbourethral glands work to lubricate the spongy urethra.
Bulbourethral glands secrete an alkaline mucus-like fluid in response to sexual stimulation. This fluid neutralizes the acidity of the residue of semen in the urethra, helps to neutralize the vaginal acidity, and, during intercourse, provides some lubrication for the tip of the penis.

Additional Information:
-Lymph nodes in the human groyne are inguinal lymph nodes. Located in the inguinal region of the femoral triangle, they are classified into superficial and deep lymph nodes. There are three divisions of the superficial: the superomedial, superolateral, and the superficial inferior.
The prostate, situated between the bladder and the penis, is a walnut-sized gland. Just in front of the rectum is the prostate. The urethra extends from the bladder to the penis, through the middle of the prostate, letting urine flow out of the body. The prostate secretes sperm-nourishing and safeguarding fluid.
In many mammals, including dogs and cats, the anal glands or anal sacs are tiny glands near the anus. These are paired sacs between the external and inner sphincter muscles on each side of the anus. A liquid that is used for recognition of members throughout a species is secreted by sebaceous glands within the lining.
So, the correct answer is ‘Cowper’s gland’.

Note: Cowper's glands release a mucus-like fluid called pre-ejaculate when sexually aroused. A viscous, transparent, and salty fluid that neutralizes any remaining acidity in the urethra is the pre-ejaculate fluid.
