What is the narrowest part of male urethra?
The narrowest part of the male urethra is the external urethral meatus, which is the opening at the tip of the penis where urine and semen exit the body. It is the most constricted part of the urethra and can be prone to blockages or infections.
Which part of the penis does semen come out?
Semen is ejaculated from the urethra, which is the tube that runs through the penis. It carries both urine and semen, but they are not expelled at the same time. The muscles in the urethra help control which substance is being released.
What organs are part of the excretory system?

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 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.
Ejaculatory opens into this part of urethra?
The ejaculatory duct opens into the prostatic part of the urethra, specifically where the prostatic urethra meets with the membranous urethra. This junction is located within the prostate gland.
What organ system is urogenital papilla in?
The urogenital papilla is part of the urogenital system, specifically in females where it forms the external opening of the urogenital sinus. It is located near the cloaca and plays a role in excretion and reproduction.
Why is the term urogenital more applicable to males than females?
Wiki: "In anatomy, the genitourinary system or urogenital system is the organ system of the reproductive organs and the urinary system. These are grouped together because of their proximity to each other, their common embryological origin and the use of common pathways, like the male urethra."Womens system isn't linked like that. We have one urethra with no connection to the reproductive system.
