Seminal Vesicle Smooth Muscle Cells (SVSMC)

Seminal vesicle smooth muscle cells are a type of muscle cell found in the seminal vesicles, which are glands located near the prostate gland in males. These smooth muscle cells play a crucial role in the process of ejaculation by contracting and releasing the contents of the seminal vesicles into the urethra.

Seminal vesicle smooth muscle cells are under the control of the autonomic nervous system, specifically the parasympathetic division, which stimulates their contraction during the process of ejaculation. These cells also respond to hormonal signals, such as testosterone, which can influence their growth and function.
