male urethra is long and female urethra is short
Yes they do, it carries the urine from the bladder down to the urethra then out of the body.
Females have a very short urethra coming off the bladder. The male's is longer because it has to go through the penis.
The female and male urethra function in the same way for urinary elimination. The female urethra is shorter in length than a male's, with the female urethra approximately 1 1/2 inches long and the male urethra approximately 8 inches long. Therefore, females can be more vulnerable to urinary tract and bladder infections since the pathway for germs from outside the body is shorter in females. Both males and females have sphincter muscles at the base of the bladder that control the release of the urine from the bladder to the urethra. In males, the urethra also functions as a tube for the release of semen in ejaculation. Their urethras intersect with the vas deferens, the tube that moves semen from the reproductive organs, at the area of the prostate gland. A valve at the base of the urethra directs the flow of either urine or semen through the urethral tube.

urethra
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.
The urethra is the passageway for semen as it leaves the male's body. In the male, the urethra carries semen and urine, while in the female the urethra only carries semen.
