The prostate gland


The prostate is a small gland about the size of a walnut. It surrounds the top part of the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis (the urethra). The same tube also carries semen. The prostate produces a thick clear fluid, which is an important part of the semen.

The growth and function of the prostate gland depends on the male sex hormone testosterone, which is produced in the testes.
