Tube that connects the urinary bladder to the external urethral orifice
The urethra is a tube that connects the mammalian urinary bladder to the urinary meatus in the glans penis or vulval vestibule. Male and female placental mammals release urine through the urethra during urination, but males also release semen through the urethra during ejaculation. The external urethral sphincter is a striated muscle that allows voluntary control over urination. Wikipedia
