Is the urethra the tube that leads from the bladder to the small intestine?
Oh my gosh, no! The urethra is a tube in mammals that leads from the urinary bladder to the outside world. For females, it is relatively short and for males it is longer. In females it leads to a small opening just in front of the vagina. In males it leads all the way to the tip of the penis. The urethra is part of the urinary system, and the small intestine is part of the digestive system. Let's hope that the two never meet. Because if your urethra went into your small intestine, it would be a medical emergency that would require immediate surgery!
