The urethra is primarily composed of a layer of transitional epithelium, which allows it to stretch as urine passes through. Beneath this epithelium, there is a layer of connective tissue, including smooth muscle, which helps facilitate the passage of urine. In males, the urethra also contains additional layers of erectile tissue, especially in the penile region. Overall, the combination of epithelial and muscular tissue allows the urethra to perform its function effectively.
