A healthy human prostate is classically said to be slightly larger than a walnut. In actuality, it is approximately the size of a kiwifruit. The mean weight of the 'normal' prostate in adult males is about 11 grams, usually ranging between 7 & 16 grams. It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder & could be felt during a rectal exam. It is the only exocrine organ located in the midline in humans & similar animals. The ducts are lined with transitional epithelium. Within the prostate, the urethra coming from the bladder is called the prostatic urethra & merges with the 2 ejaculatory ducts. The prostate is sheathed in the muscles of the pelvic floor, which contract during the ejaculatory process. The prostate could be divided in 2 ways - by zone, or by lobe.
