In males, it is the tube that conducts urine from the bladder through the penis to the outside of the body and it also conducts the semen from the reproductive organs for release in ejaculation.

Both genders have a urethra. That is the tube running from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body and is necessary for urination. Now, the urethra is different between males and females. The female urethra is shorter than the male urethra and exits the body below the clitoris.

The male urethra follows a slightly different route inside the body from females because it is attached to the seminal vesicles. The male urethra plays a role in reproduction since it is not only for urine, but also for ejaculation. That is where the semen (and thus sperm cells) exit the body. On the outside of a male's body, the urethra runs along the bottom of the penis.

A male's urethra is longer than a female's urethra. Males average an 8 inch length of this tube for urine passage through the penis, while female's urethras are typically 1.5 inches long.
