The differential increase in size or mass of the prostate gland that contributes to the gland attaining its form. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The process by which the anatomical structures of epithelia of the prostate gland are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. An epithelium consists of closely packed cells arranged in one or more layers, that covers the outer surfaces of the body or lines any internal cavity or tube. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the prostate gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The prostate gland is a partly muscular, partly glandular body that is situated near the base of the mammalian male urethra and secretes an alkaline viscid fluid which is a major constituent of the ejaculatory fluid. The growth process by which a branch increases in length from its base to its tip. The multiplication of epithelial cells, contributing to the expansion of the primary prostatic bud. The increase in size of the prostatic bud as it forms. The multiplication or reproduction of epithelial cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. Epithelial cells make up the epithelium, the covering of internal and external surfaces of the body, including the lining of vessels and other small cavities. It consists of cells joined by small amounts of cementing substances. The multiplication or reproduction of epithelial cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population that contributes to the progression of the prostate gland over time.
