Abstract
Obstruction to the outflow of secretion from the prostate gland by means of ligating the urethra causes an atrophy of the external secretory cells. Neither hypertrophy nor corpora amylacea were observed. The prostate gland reacts to obstruction to the outflow of its external secretion as do other externally secreting glands.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
