Choose the appropriate lettered structure in this computed tomography scan of the male perineum and pelvis. Which structure secretes fluid containing fructose, which allows for forensic determination of rape?
High-Yield Explanation
(b) The seminal vesicle is a lobulated glandular structure and produces the alkaline constituent of the seminal fluid, which contains fructose and choline. Fructose, which is nutritive to spermatozoa, also allows forensic determination of rape, whereas choline crystals are the preferred basis for the determination of the presence of semen.
