Illustration of a sagittal section through the prostate (right) and the urethra (down centre left), the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. The prostate gland produces a fluid that forms part of the semen. It sits around the urethra just below the bladder (top). From Traite d'Anatomie Humaine, Vol 4 (1905) by French anatomist Leo Testut (1849-1925).
