The
urinary meatus, also known as the
external urethral orifice, is the opening or
meatus of the
urethra. It is the point where
urine exits the urethra in males and in females, and also where
semen exits the urethra in males. The meatus has varying degrees of sensitivity to touch. The meatus is located on the
glans penis in males and in the
vulval vestibule in females.
