The external urethral sphincter in males is located at the base of the pelvis, surrounding the urethra just below the prostate gland. It is part of the urogenital diaphragm and helps control the release of urine from the bladder. This muscle plays a crucial role in voluntary urination and maintaining urinary continence.

The five muscles of the pelvic outlet that both males and females have in common are the external anal sphincter, bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, transverse perineal, and levator ani muscles. These muscles play important roles in controlling bowel and bladder functions, as well as supporting the pelvic organs.


Is the first or second hole the pee hole?

In human anatomy, the "pee hole" refers to the urethral opening, which is located in the genital area. In females, the urethra is a separate opening located above the vaginal opening (the second hole). In males, the urethra also serves dual purposes for urine and semen, exiting at the same opening, which is the only hole present for those functions.

How do you activate an artificial sphincter?

For males: There is a deactivation button (switch) at the top end of the pump. The pump is located in the scrotum. If the person is right handed, the pump will be located near the right testicle. FYI: If an artificial urinary sphincter fails, it will fail in the "open" position. Tom

What is the urethra?

In both men and women, the urethra is the tube through which urine is excreted from the urinary bladder to outside the body. Urine flows from the bladder out of the body by way of the urethra when the sphincter muscle is relaxed. The urethral sphincter muscle is at the base of the bladder and controls the release of urine from the bladder into the urethra, which then flows out of the meatus (opening at the end of the urethra) when urinating. The urethra is approximately 1 1/2 inches long in females and around 8 inches long in males. The urethral meatus is located at the tip of the penis in men and between the clitoris and vaginal opening in women. In males the urethra also carries semen from the ejaculatory duct outwards through the penis. The semen is directed from the reproductive organs through the vas deferens tube for semen that intersects with the urethra at the prostate gland. A valve there at the base of the urethra directs the flow of either urine or semen through the urethra and out of the meatus.
