Prostate gland location. Illustration of a side view of the male urogenital region, showing the location of the prostate gland (circled in red). The prostate gland is located at the base of the urinary bladder (upper centre). It encloses the urethra, through which urine passes from the bladder through the penis (lower left). Urine enters the bladder from the kidneys through the two ureters (top right). The prostate gland secretes a fluid that forms part of the semen produced during ejaculation. Additional fluids for the semen are produced by the seminal vesicles (one shown at far centre right). Below the prostate gland is the urethral sphincter (both sides of urethra) and Cowper's gland (small, bulbous, bulbourethral gland) that produces pre-ejaculatory fluid. | |
