The seminal vesicle is a small gland in the shape of a coiled tube with a muscular wall. Its secretory epithelium produces the bulk of the fluid which comprises the human ejaculate.
The highly folded mucosa of the seminal vesicle is lined by a columnar epithelium similar to that of the vas deferens. The duct of the seminal vesicle empties into the ejaculatory duct.
