What Is the Urothelium?

The urethra is the conduit from the bladder to the outside of the body. The male urethra is slender, about 18 cm in length. It starts from the inner urethral opening of the bladder and ends at the outer urethral opening. During the stroke, it passes through the prostate, membrane, and penile cavernosa. The female urethra is thick and short, about 5 cm long. It starts at the inner mouth of the urethra, passes through the front of the vagina, and opens in the vaginal vestibule. The male urethra has a sphincter of circular striated muscles in the urethral membrane, called the external urethral sphincter, which is controlled by consciousness. When the female urethra passes through the urogenital ridge, it is surrounded by the urethra-vaginal sphincter, which is a striated muscle and also controlled by the will.
