The Prostate Gland
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The gland is made of two lobes, or regions, enclosed by an outer layer of tissue. The prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, where urine is stored. The prostate also surrounds the urethra, the canal through which urine passes out of the body.
Scientists do not know all the prostate's functions. One of its main roles, though, is to squeeze fluid into the urethra as sperm move through during sexual climax. This fluid, which helps make up semen, energizes the sperm and makes the vaginal canal less acidic.
The Prostate
The prostate is part of a man's reproductive system. It is located in front of the rectum and under the bladder. It surrounds th urethra, the tube through which urine flows. A healthy prostate is about the size of a walnut.
The prostate makes part ofseminal fluid. During ejaculation, seminal fluid helps carry sperm out of the man's body as part of semen.
Male hormones make the prostate grow. The testicles are the main source of male hormones, including testosterone. The adrenal gland also makes testosterone, but in small amounts.
If the prostate grows too large, it squeezes the urethra. This may slow or stop the flow of urine from the bladder to the penis.
