What
and where is the Prostate Gland?
A
gland within the male reproductive system that is located just below the
bladder. Chestnut shaped, the prostate surrounds the beginning of the urethra,
the canal that empties the bladder.
The prostate is actually not one but many glands, 30-50 in number, between which is abundant tissue containing many bundles of smooth muscle. The secretion of the prostate is a milky fluid that is discharged into the urethra at the time of the ejaculation of semen.
The origin of the name "prostate" is quite curious. The word is from the
Greek "prostates", to stand before. The anatomist Herophilus called it the
prostate because, as he saw matters, it stands before the testes. Prostate
cancer is a leading cause of death in men.
