The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside. The length depends on the sex. In females it is 4 cm (anterior to the vagina) and in males is 20 cm (through the penis).
The vaginal opening is situated to the back of the vaginal folds, between the anus and the urethra. The urethra is the opening for urine to exit the body, it is the small opening in the center of the labial folds.
No. You're thinking of the chicken or any type of bird that has this "feature," not cows. A cow's rectum is above the vulva, and the urethra and vagina is found in the vulva. The urethra is situated in the vagina but branches from the vagina to the kidneys. The entrance to the urethra is found in the first few inches of the cow's vagina.
The erectile tissues associated with the penis, primarily the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum, are located surrounding the urethra. The corpora cavernosa are situated on either side of the urethra, while the corpus spongiosum, which contains the urethra, runs along the underside of the penis. This arrangement allows for the expansion and engorgement of these tissues during erection, facilitating sexual function.
Urine is expelled via the urethra located above the vaginal opening.
The kidneys, aorta, urethra, and inferior vena cava are located in the abdominal cavity. Specifically, the kidneys are situated in the retroperitoneal space, which is behind the peritoneum that lines the abdominal cavity. The aorta and inferior vena cava run along the posterior abdominal wall, while the urethra extends from the bladder to the external body.
