The urethra is the tube through which urine passes to be eliminated from the bladder, and in males, it also carries the semen in ejaculation. It runs from the base of the bladder to the tip of the penis in males. The vas deferens that carries semen connects with it near the prostate gland where there is a valve that allows either the passage of urine or the passage of semen in men. The average length is about 8 inches (20 cm) in adult males. It can range in length from approximately 15 cm to 29 cm. It is only around 1.5 inches in females.
