What are the function of the prostate gland?

Answer 1

The prostate gland is a small, muscular, rounded organ about 4 cm (1.6 inches) in diameter. It encircles the proximal portion of the urethra as it leaves the urinary bladder.

The prostate gland produces prostatic fluid, a slightly acidic solution that contributes 20-30 percent of the volume of semen. It also (although uncertain in significance), prostatic secretions contain seminalpasmin, and antibiotic that may help prevent urinary tract infections in males.

These secretions are ejected into the prostatic urethra by peristaltic contractions of the muscular prostate walls

Answer 2

The prostate is a male sexual gland whose purpose is to secrete a slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes about one fourth of the volume of semen. It also helps expel semen during ejaculation.
The prostate produces semen (a milk-like fluid) which helps to transport the spermatozoides from testicles via penis during ejaculation.

Answer 3

First off, there are two words in English which look alike: Prostrate and Prostate. The first means 'lying down' and the second refers to a gland in the male body which stores prostatic fluid - a constituent of semen (sperm). Sperms need to swim in a liquid and much of this comes from the Prostate Gland.

Answer 4

The prostate has a number of functions. It acts as a valve between the urinary bladder and the urethra (pee tube). It is said to be the pleasure center for sex for men. During sex, it contributes fluid to the semen.

Answer 5

The prostate acts as a sphincter (valve) for the bladder in expelling urine. It is also used in sexual function in adding fluid to the semen.

Answer 6

The prostate gland serves as the valve for the urinary bladder. It also is the center of sexual sensation and produces secretions that mix with semen.

Answer 7

The gland sits at the base of the Urinary Bladder and acts as the valve for urine to exit the body. It also produces fluids that are added to semen during sex.

Answer 8

It serves in the production of sperm. It also acts as the valve between the bladder and the urethra.
