Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The urethra is a dynamic fibromuscular tube which serves as the terminal region of both the male urinary and reproductive systems. The average male urethra is 20 cm long and begins within the bladder wall and ends in the distal glans of the penis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The urethra has both a reproductive and a urinary function in males because both urine and semen pass through the urethra. There is not a separate pathway for semen to travel on to exit the body. Therefore, they travel through the same tube (urethra) that urine does to exit the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The urethra (pronounced: yoo-REE-thruh) is the channel that carries the sperm (in fluid called semen) to the outside of the body through the penis. The urethra is also part of the urinary system because it is also the channel through which pee passes as it leaves the bladder and exits the body.
