Glutamate transporter. Glutamate transporters are a family of neurotransmitter transporter proteins that move glutamate â the principal excitatory neurotransmitter â across a membrane. The family of glutamate transporters is composed of two primary subclasses: the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) family and vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) family.
Also known as the bulbourethral glands, are located on either side of the urethra just below the prostate gland and their ducts open into the urethra. They secrete thick mucus acting as a lubricant.he ejaculatory duct in the seminal vesicles passes through the prostate gland and enters the urethra. Glands located at the base of the urinary bladder, opening into the vas deferens as it joins the urethra.
Facts about the prostate gland. The prostate gland is about the size of a walnut. It's located just below the bladder and it surrounds the urethra (a tube that carries urine and semen out of the body). The prostate is partly muscular and partly glandular, with ducts opening into the prostatic portion of the urethra.uring male climax (orgasm), the muscular glands of the prostate help to propel the prostate fluid, in addition to sperm that was made in the testicles, into the urethra. The semen then leaves the body out through the tip of the penis during ejaculation.
