The combining form prostat/o denotes which gland?

Testis

Kidney

Urinary bladder

Prostate gland

Prostat/o denotes the prostate gland. This combining form identifies the prostate, a male reproductive gland that sits just below the bladder and surrounds part of the urethra. That’s why terms built with prostat/o refer to the prostate, such as prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) or prostatic (relating to the prostate). The other roots point to different organs—test/o or orch/o to the testis, nephr/o to the kidney, and cyst/o or vesic/o to the urinary bladder—so they wouldn’t describe the prostate.
