The reproductive system ensures the survival of the species. Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain homeostasis for the survival of the individual. An individual may live a long, healthy, and happy life without producing offspring, but if the species is to continue, at least some individuals must produce offspring.

The prostate is a walnut-sized cluster of tubulo-acinar glands that surrounds the male urethra's initial segment. A pseudostratified columnar epithelium with prostatic glandular cells lines the prostatic glands. As with other glandular organs, a layer of basal cells separates the prostatic glandular cells from the basement membrane and stroma. The prostate takes part in producing one-third of the fluid that makes up semen. The generated fluid serves as a protective and nourishing vehicle for sperm cells.
