BASIC ANATOMY

The prostate gland is a chestnut shaped structure that sits at the base of the urinary bladder. Urine passes through the prostate gland as it leaves the body via the urethra. Sperm is generated in the testicles and pass trough the vas deferens into the prostate gland. The necessary fluids and material are added to the sperm by the prostate gland and adjacent structures called seminal vesicles to form the complete ejaculate.
