What portion of the urethra is between the prostate and penis?
The prostatic or membranous urethra
What is the part in males that has prostatic and membranous and spongy parts?
Urethra has three regions in males, the prostatic urethra, membranous urethra, and the spongy urethra.
What is the Part of the urethra within the Urogenital diaphragm?
membranous urethra
What is the narrowest part of male urethra?
the membranous part of urethra
What are the three divisions of the male urethra?
prostatic portion membranous portion cavernous portion
Region of male urethra that passes through urogenital diaphragm?
There is no defined region of urethra: it begins a at the bladder and ends at the head of the penis. The external urethra, the area that you can see, is called the meatus.
What is the function of the urethra in a cat?
The prostatic portion of the urethra collects seminal fluids from the prostate during ejaculation as well as providing a duct through which urine and semen can be eliminated from the body.
What structures does the urethra travels through in males?
The male urethra is divided into threesegments.The prostatic urethra passes through the prostate gland, the urogenital diaphragm and the bulb of the urethra.The membranous urethra has the shortest length and is found between the prostatic urethra and the spongy urethra. It extends downward between the apex of the prostate and the bulb of the urethra.The spongy urethra is the longest part of the male urethra and it passes through the length of the penis, more specifically through the corpus spongiosum penis (a mass of spongy tissue surrounding the male urethra within the penis), and the glans.
What is pathway for sperm from testis to urethra?
Semineferous tubules, straight tubules, rete testes, efferent ducts, ductus deferens (vas deferens), ejaculatory duct, prostatis urethra, membranous urethra, spongy urethra, external urethral orifice.Testes (Testis) -> Epididymis -> Vas Deferens -> Urethra.
What contains the urethra?
The three regions/sections of the male urethra are:Prostatic UrethraThe prostatic urethra begins at the neck of the bladder and includes all of the section that passes through the prostrate gland. It is the widest and most dilatable part of the male urethral canal.Membranous UrethraThe membranous urethra is the shortest and narrowest part of the male urethra. This section measures approx. 0.5 - 0.75 inches (12 - 19 mm) in length and is the section of the urethra that passes through the male urogenital diaphragm.The external urethral sphincter (muscle) is located in the urogenital diaphragm (as for the female urethra). This muscle is referred to as the "compressor urethrae muscle" in some older textbooks.The passage of urine along the urethra through the urogenital diaphragm is controlled by the external urethral sphincter, which is a circular muscle under voluntary control (that is, it is innervated by the somatic nervous system, SNS).See the page about micturation for more about control of these structures by the nervous system.Spongy UrethraThe spongy urethra is the longest of the three sections. It is approx. 6 inches (150 mm) in length and is contained in the corpus spongiosum that extends from the end of the membranous portion, passes through the penis, and terminates at theexternal orifice of the urethra - which is the point at which the urine leaves the body.
What is the membranous labyrinth?
It is a membranous organ in the inner ear.
What is an abnormal membranous body sac?
A membranous sac is, as it says, a sac with a membrane. What it is specifically varies. Bronchi in the lungs are membranous sacs and the amniotic sac on a baby is membranous.
