Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Urethra. This tube allows urine to pass outside the body. The brain signals the bladder muscles to tighten, which squeezes urine out of the bladder. At the same time, the brain signals the sphincter muscles to relax to let urine exit the bladder through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -There is an internal urethral sphincter, which is located at the point where the urethra leaves the bladder. There’s also an external urethral sphincter located in the pelvic floor. These muscles work together with the bladder to get urine out of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The internal urethral sphincter regulates involuntary control of urine flow from the bladder to the urethra, and the external urethral sphincter provides voluntary control of urine flow from the bladder to the urethra.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
