The Urethra

 The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside.

 

In females the urethra is relatively wide, short and straight, and has a strictly urinary function.

In males the urethra is relatively narrow, long and curved, and has both urinary and reproductive functions.
