Default What is the prostate gland made of?

I looked it up in Webster's Dictionary and it said, "partly muscle". But what percentage of it is muscle? It didn't say. And what's the rest of it made of?
It didn't say.

You would think it's basic information but it's not. I checked with a book about prostate and online but found no information as to what it's made of.

What is there beside muscle in the human body? Fat would be a good guess.

If the rest of it is fat, that might partly explain why it becomes enlarged.

The muscle part of it wouldn't get bigger with age, unless you're a body builder like Arnold.
