General Information
Term prostate gland development ID (Ontology) GO:0030850 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the prostate gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The prostate gland is a partly muscular, partly glandular body that is situated near the base of the mammalian male urethra and secretes an alkaline viscid fluid which is a major constituent of the ejaculatory fluid.[ PubMed:11839751 ]
Also Known As "prostate development"
