Protection of sperm inside female genital tract
On react side the prostate gland is supported on each side by
Levator ani
What are the coverings of the prostate
True capsule and false capsule

Condensation of fibrous storms of gland
The false capsule is derived
From visceral layer of pelvic fascia it envelopes the prostate and bladder at the same compartment
At the bladder neck the false capsule is connected to pubic bone by
medial and lateral pubo prostatic ligaments
Posteriorly the capsule blends with
Recto vesical fascia of denonvilleir
