- Prostate gland: a firm partly muscular chestnut sized gland in males at the neck of the urethra; produces a viscid secretion that is the fluid part of semen
- Relating to the prostate gland
- The prostate (from Ancient Greek u03C0u03C1u03BFu03C3u03C4u03ACu03C4u03B7u03C2, prostates, literally "one who stands before", "protector", "guardian") is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system in most mammals. It differs considerably among species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically.
- In ancient Greece, the term metic (Greek mu00E9toikos: from metu00E1, indicating change, and ou00EEkos "dwelling") referred to a foreign resident of Athens, one who did not have citizen rights in their Greek city-state (polis) of residence.
- 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.
- Gland surrounding the urethra that secretes part of the semen
- A gland located at the base of the bladder in males.
- Disseminate portion surrounds urethra, the body lies ventral to the vesicular glands
- Greek pro = before, and Latin = statum = stood; hence, something which stands before - the prostate stands before the urinary bladder.
