| The prostate
The prostate is a small
gland found only in men. It surrounds the first part of the
tube (urethra) which carries urine from the bladder to
the penis. The prostate produces a thick white fluid which
mixes with the sperm and is known as semen. Its growth and the
way it works is dependent on the male sex hormone,
testosterone, which is produced in the
testes.
