The Prostate
The prostate, which is only present in the male body, is a walnut-sized gland situated between the bladder and the penis.
The Prostates function
The urine flows via the urethra through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, and thereby out the body. Its function is to secrete fluid during ejaculation that nourishes and protects sperm. The prostate is susceptible to conditions such as prostatic obstruction caused by benign prostatic enlargement or prostate cancer.
