Detailed explanation-1: -The penile urethra (also called the spongy urethra or the cavernous urethra): The longest piece of the urethra. This section extends the entire length of the penis and ends at the urethral meatus or the opening outside the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first part, next to the urinary bladder, passes through the prostate gland and is called the prostatic urethra. The second part, a short region that penetrates the pelvic floor and enters the penis, is called the membranous urethra. The third part, the spongy urethra, is the longest region.
Detailed explanation-3: -The male urethra connects the urinary bladder to the penis. Once the bladder becomes full, urine flows through the urethra and leaves the body at the urethral meatus, which is located at tip of the penis. The urethra is more than just a urinary duct; it also serves as a conduit for semen and sperm during sexual acts.
