"the accessory sex glands" - tak zwykle piszą naukowcy
Luke Evans Feb 5, 2013:
Tak, chyba "accessory/secondary sex glands" będzie najlepszą z tych opcji, ale jak zawsze trudno być pewien nie znając dokładnego kontekstu.
literary (asker) Feb 5, 2013:
jest w słowniku medycznym
gruczoł dodatkowy = accessory gland

additional/other sex glands

Definitely not 'gonads'. 'Gonads' are specifically the testes and ovaries of which mammals only have two, therefore I can't imagine a context where it's possible to speak of additional gonads. There are, however, various other sex glands present in mammals.
