What are the physiological functions of the prostate?
Prostate, as the largest accessory gonadal organ in men, has many physiological functions. Anatomically, the prostate constitutes the wall of the proximal urethra, including the internal urethral sphincter, which surrounds the prostatic urethra with circular smooth muscle fibers, controls the discharge of urine from the bladder, and helps the semen that has entered the seminal vesicle and prostate to be discharged through the urethra during ejaculation.
