The physiological function of the prostate can be summarized as four aspects:
First, there is endocrine function.The prostate is rich in 5 & alpha; -the reduction enzyme, which can convert testosterone into a more physiological activity dihydrous testosterone.Dip hydrogen testosterone plays an important role in the onset of benign prostatic hyperplasia.By blocking 5 & alpha; -the reduced enzymes, the generation of dilute testosterone can be reduced, thereby shrinking prostate tissue of hyperplasia.
Second, it has the function of controlling urination.The prostate is around the urethra, which is close to the bladder neck, forming a proximal urethral wall, and its circular smooth muscle fiber surrounds the prostate of the urethra, which participates in constituting the intensive sphincter of the urethra.When urination is impulsive, with the contraction of the urine muscle, the internal sphincter is relaxed, causing the urination smoothly.
Third, it has an external secretion function.The prostate is the largest attachment glands of men and one of the exterior gland in the human body.It can secrete prostate fluid, which is an important component of semen. It plays an important role in the normal function of sperm and is very important to fertility.The secretion of prostate fluid is regulated byrogens.
Fourth, it has transportation functions.The prostate has a urethral and two ejaculation tubes in essence. When ejaculation, the muscle contraction of the prostate and seminal vesicles can cause the contents of the vasal and seminal gland to press the ejaculation tube into the urethra after the ejaculation tube, and then discharge the body.In summary, the prostate has four important functions, which has played an important role in the human body.
