THE PROSTATE The prostate gland {prostata) is a pyramidal-shaped organ situatedat the so-called neck of the bladder. It is of a dark red color and. Fig. 230.— Median sagittal section through the bladder, prostate, urethra and penis of the male. musculoglandular in structure. It is about i3^ inches ( cm.)wide, I inch ( cm.) thick and inches ( cm.) high. It weighsabout K ounce (15 grams.) It consists of apex, base, ventral, dorsal and lateral stirfaces. Theapex {apex prostata;) is directed downward and forward and restsupon the deep layer of the urinogenital diaphragm. The base {basisprostata:) is directed upward and backward and is in contact with thebladder. Near the middle of the base the urethra enters the organand courses through it to the apex. At the inferior angles of the 328 THE MALE ORGANS OF REPRODUCTION base the ejaculatory ducts enter the organ and converge at theurethra. That portion of the prostate between these ducts and theurethra constitutes the so-called middle lobe of the prostate. The dorsal surface {fades posterior) is in contact with the ventral surface {fades anterior) is directed
