Prostate gland, light micrograph

Prostate gland. Coloured light micrograph of a section through a prostate gland. The prostate is a large male gland that surrounds the neck of the bladder and the urethra (the tube that carries both urine and semen out of the body). Numerous excretory ducts (white) are seen, which are lined with epithelial cells (orange). The prostate produces an alkaline secretion that forms part of the seminal fluid. It also produces secretions that keep the lining of the urethra moist. Connective tissue (yellow) can also be seen. Magnification: x60 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnified view of the prostate gland, an essential part of the male reproductive system. The image reveals a transverse section through the gland, displaying its intricate structures and functions. The prostate gland, depicted in vibrant colors, envelops both the neck of the bladder and the urethra - responsible for carrying urine and semen out of the body. Numerous excretory ducts are visible as white lines within this micrograph, lined with orange epithelial cells. These cells play a crucial role in producing an alkaline secretion that forms part of seminal fluid. In addition to its contribution to reproduction, this remarkable organ also produces secretions that keep the lining of the urethra moist. Connective tissue is seen throughout this microscopic view, represented by yellow hues. With a magnification level of x60 when printed at 10cm wide, this image provides an extraordinary glimpse into normal human anatomy at such minute scales. Its false-colored presentation adds depth and clarity to highlight different components within this complex biological structure. Presented by Science Photo Library, renowned for their expertise in scientific imagery, this print serves as a testament to their commitment to capturing stunning visuals that bridge science and art seamlessly.
