The seminal vesicles seen near the prostate, viewed from in front and above.

Seminal vesicles (also called vesicular glands,[1] or seminal glands) are two "small, elongated, sac-like containers situated on the prostate gland at the point at which the vas deferens passes through to join the urethra."[2]

The seminal vesicles store semen for ejaculation.
