Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The prostate gland is a walnut-sized gland that surrounds a portion of the urethra and produces some of the fluid in semen.

Detailed explanation-2: -One part of the semen is produced in the prostate. Together with sperm cells from the testicles, fluid from the seminal vesicle and the secretions released by another pea-sized gland below the prostate (the bulbourethral gland), the prostate fluid makes up the semen.

Detailed explanation-3: -When ejaculation occurs, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the deferent duct. Sperm then travels through the deferent duct through up the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity, over the ureter to the prostate behind the bladder.
