Uberon Taxon note : In rodents, the prostate gland consists of three lobes, the anterior prostate (AP;
also known as the coagulating gland), the dorsolateral prostate (DLP), and the ventral
prostate (VP). These lobes are arranged circumferentially around the urethra and display
characteristic patterns of ductal branching and protein secretion (PMID:3308446).
In contrast, the adult human prostate lacks discernible lobular organization and,
instead, completely envelops the urethra at the base of the bladder (PMID:3308446).[MP];
