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.
The prostate gland secretes fluids which are incorporated into the semen before ejaculation. The position of the prostate gland is what causes problems. It is located at the base of the bladder, surrounding the beginning of the urethra. In older men, the prostate can swell, putting pressure on either the bladder or urethra, which can restrict urine flow. On my phone now, but I can add more detail later.
