Prostate
December 21st 2006 04:25
The prostate is a gland of the male reproductive system that produces fluid for semen, which helps to transport sperm during the male orgasm. The prostate is made up of about 30% muscular tissues, the rest is glandular tissue. It produces some nutrients and seminal fluid that aid the sperm.
Normally, the prostate is small—about the same size and shape as a walnut. It is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder. The prostate wraps around the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine out from the bladder through the tip of the penis. The older a man gets or disease can make the prostate enlarge which constricts the tube in which men urinate, so the bladder stays full. It becomes larger as men gets older, put pressure on the urethra making it harder for men to urinate.
