The prostate has been given different and contradictory nomenclatures. The nomenclature of the normal prostatic gland must allow for the concepts of comparative anatomy, human anatomy and pathologic anatomy. The object of this study, based on a review of the literature, is to analyse the discordant terminologies, which give rise to misunderstandings, and to suggest a simple nomenclature conformant to anatomic rules and the descriptions of leading authors. It seems necessary to suggest a schema utilising the studies of comparative anatomists and the original descriptions of Albarran and correlating all this information. One must distinguish between the prostate, the prostatic gland and the periprostatic fibromuscular tissue. The central glands are those situated at the center of the prostate in the urethral wall. The prostatic glands themselves are found around the urethra. Within these glands there is a distinction between the cranial glands situated around the ejaculatory ducts, which drain above the seminal colliculus, and the caudal glands situated below the ejaculatory ducts which drain into the urethra below the colliculus. Between the wall of the urethra which contains the central glands and the peripheral glands is the transitional zone.
前列腺有不同且相互矛盾的命名法。正常前列腺的命名法必须考虑到比较解剖学、人体解剖学和病理解剖学的概念。基于文献综述，本研究的目的是分析那些会引起误解的不一致术语，并提出一种符合解剖学规则和主要作者描述的简单命名法。似乎有必要提出一种模式，利用比较解剖学家的研究以及阿尔巴兰的原始描述，并将所有这些信息关联起来。必须区分前列腺、前列腺腺体和前列腺周围纤维肌肉组织。中央腺体位于尿道壁前列腺的中心部位。前列腺腺体本身位于尿道周围。在这些腺体中，位于射精管周围、在精阜上方引流的为头侧腺体，位于射精管下方、在精阜下方排入尿道的为尾侧腺体。包含中央腺体的尿道壁与周围腺体之间是移行带。
