(PRAH-state): In men, a walnut-shaped gland that surrounds the urethra at the neck of the bladder. The prostate supplies fluid that goes into semen.
gland at the base of the bladder and surrounding the urethra.
A male gland about the size and shape of a walnut that surrounds the urethra and is located just below the bladder. If the prostate must be partially or totally removed because of illness, some degree of incontinence often results.
(PROS-tate) A gland in the male reproductive system just below the bladder. The prostate surrounds part of the urethra, the canal that empties the bladder, and produces a fluid that forms part of semen.
A gland which surrounds the neck of the bladder and the urethra in the male. The prostate secretes a thin, opalescent, slightly alkaline fluid which forms part of the semen.
A male sex gland; it produces a fluid that forms part of semen.
A gland found in men surrounding the urethra. The gland makes a thick white fluid which mixes with sperm to make semen.
PROS-tata Gland that helps make cum
a gland that works along with the seminal vesicles to produce the fluids that combine with sperm as it moves through the male reproductive system. The fluids and sperm combine to form semen that is ejaculated during sexual intercourse.
gland that surrounds the neck of the bladder and urethra in males and secretes a thin fluid that forms part of the seminal fluid.
Glands at base of urethra which eject semen
A muscular, walnut-sized gland that surrounds part of the urethra. It secretes seminal fluid, a milky substance that combines with sperm (produced in the testicles) to form semen.
A gland situated below the bladder and surrounding the urethra. Its function is to provide the bulk of the seminal fluid.
A gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate surrounds the part of the urethra (the tube that empties the bladder) just below the bladder, and produces a fluid that forms part of the semen.
