(N/A) The male accessory ducts include the $rete testis$, $vasa efferentia$, $epididymis$, and $vas deferens$. Their primary function is the transport and temporary storage of sperms.
On the other hand, the male accessory glands consist of the $seminal vesicles$, $prostate gland$, and $bulbourethral glands$.
These glands secrete seminal plasma, which is rich in $fructose$, $calcium$, and certain enzymes.
This fluid provides nourishment to the sperms, facilitates their motility, and helps in neutralizing the acidity of the female reproductive tract.
