The prostate gland, ii, Fig-. XLVIIL, also t, , surrounds the neck of the bladder. In thelatter cut it is opened to show urethra passing throughit. It resembles a horse chestnut in shape and se-cretes a fluid which is poured into the seminalsecretion after it reaches the urethra. Two small glands, n, Fig. XLVII., called Cowpersglands, about the size of peas, are joined to the ureth-ra by ducts about an inch in length, a short distancein front of the prostate gland. These also add asecretion to the others. The male urethra extends from the neck of the blad-der to the meatus urinarius. Its length in the adultis usually eight or nine inches ; its course has a doublecurve, in its flaccid state, but in the erect condition itforms only a single curve, the concavity of which isdirected upward.
