What is "urethra"?

The urethra is a vital part of the urinary system in both males and females. In males, it serves a dual function, acting as a conduit for both urine and semen. In females, the urethra is shorter and solely responsible for the passage of urine. It plays a crucial role in the elimination of waste products from the body and is essential for maintaining proper urinary function and control.
