The male urethra is divided into four parts: the prostatic urethra, which runs through the prostate gland; the membranous urethra, the shortest segment that passes through the urogenital diaphragm; the spongy (or penile) urethra, which runs through the penis and is surrounded by erectile tissue; and the external urethral orifice, where urine and semen are expelled from the body. Each segment has distinct anatomical features and functions.
There are five major parts of the male reproductive system. These five parts are the bladder, prostate, urethra, penis, and testicles.

To compare and contrast the function of the urethra in male and female pigs, it is important to understand that the urethra serves the same purpose in both. The urethra functions to carry urine from the bladder to be expelled by the body. The urethra is also a part of the reproductive organs in male and female pigs.
