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.

What substances are carried in the urethra?
In a male, urine and seminal fluid; in a female, only urine.
Do urine and semen come out of the same tube?
The urethra is responsible for ejaculating sperm and expelling urine in men.
What structure of the male reproductive system is shared with the urinary system?
The external male genitalia are the penis and the scrotum, which contains two testicles.The internal male genitalia includes the remaining structures of the male reproductive system.
What structures pass through the genital hiatus?
The genital hiatus is a hole is the pelvic diaphragm which contains just fascia and no muscle. The structures which pass through it are:urethra (both males and females)vagina (females only)
Difference between male and female urinary system?
The main difference between male and female urinary systems is the length of the urethra. In males, the urethra is longer because it has to pass through the prostate gland and penis. This makes males more prone to urinary tract infections due to the longer urethra providing a longer pathway for bacteria to travel. Females, on the other hand, have a shorter urethra, which means they are less prone to urinary tract infections.
The opening through which urine leaves the body is?
The opening in called a urethra, in both males and females.
What glands does the urethra pass through?
The urethra passes through the prostate and the penis in the male.
What is the part in males that has prostatic and membranous and spongy parts?
Urethra has three regions in males, the prostatic urethra, membranous urethra, and the spongy urethra.
What are the accessory structures of the male reproductive system?
Bulbourethral glands are the smallest accessory glands in case of males. They lubricates the urethra.
What is the non-urinary function of the urethra in males?
In males, the urethra carries semen as well as urine.
What substances does the urethra carry?
In both genders, the urethra transports urine. In men, the urethra also transports semen which contains sperm cells and can impregnate a woman. In males, the urethra takes a detour through the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, so their urethrae are used for urination and ejaculation.
What organ system shares the urethra with the reproductive system in males?
The urethra is part of the reproductive and urinary system of the male.
What structure leads into the urethra?
The bladder feeds into the Urethra. The urethra leads into the penis in males and into the vagina in females.
Were does urine exit the female body?
Females urinate through a urethra, which is connected to the bladder (same as a man). However, a woman's urethra is much shorter than the male's, and a man's urethra also acts as a path for semen to pass through. A female's urethral opening (meatus) is located just in front of the vagina and below the clitoris. It is important to remember the locations and not confuse these parts. Yea definitely don't try to put it in her pee hole
What are the diffence between the male and female urethra?
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.
What system does the testis vas deferens urethra belong to?
because it conveys semen during ejaculation
How is the urethra different from mal and female?
In males, the urethra expels both urine and sperm. In females, the urethra expels only urine.
