Urethra
In
anatomy
, the
urethra
(from
Greek
οὐρήθρα –
ourḗthrā
) is a tube that connects the
urinary bladder
to the
urinary meatus
for the removal of fluids from the body. In male
placental mammals
, the urethra travels through the
penis
, and carries
semen
as well as
urine
. In female placental mammals, the urethra is shorter and emerges at the
female external urethral orifice
above the vaginal opening.
