Makes semen fluid: The prostate gland is located at the outlet of the bladder. The urinary channel runs right through the middle of the prostate gland like a tunnel through the center of a mountain. The prostate gland's main function is to make semen. This fluid transports and nourishes sperm cells. The prostate plays an important role in male fertility.
