Notes:
- Prostatic urethra central, surrounded by fibrous stroma.
- Ejaculatory ducts lie in the stroma ñ this picture shows them before they have joined the prostatic urethra.
- Partial fibrous septa separate the gland into lobules.
- The TZ surrounds the first part of the prostatic urethra.
- The central zone lies posterior to the TZ and encircles the ED.
- The peripheral zone makes up the bulk of the gland.
- Carcinoma = most often in peripheral zone.
- BPH = most often in transition zone.
