Abstract
The prostate (from Greek xpoorámc - prostates, literally "one who stands before" "protector", "guardian") is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system in most mammals. In 2002, female paraurethral glands, or Skene's glands, were officially renamed the female prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology physiologically. The prostate differs considerably among species anatomically, chemically, and which species they. The function of the prostate is to store and secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance, that usually constitutes 20-30% of the volume of the semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The alkalimization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles. The prostatic fluid expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular in fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better ejaculation protection of the genetic material (DNA).
