मिजंतेगु युरेथ्रायात ४गु भागय् बायेछिं :

क्षेत्र	वर्णन	इपिथेलियम
प्रि-प्रोस्टाटिक युरेथ्रा	This is the intramural part of the urethra and varies between 0.5 and 1.5 cm in length depending the fullness of the bladder.	Transitional
प्रोस्टाटिक युरेथ्रा	Crosses through the prostate gland. There are several openings: (1) the ejaculatory duct receives sperm from the vas deferens and ejaculate fluid from the seminal vesicle , (2) several prostatic ducts where fluid from the prostate enters and contributes to the ejaculate, (3) the prostatic utricle, which is merely an indentation. These openings are collectively called the verumontanum.	Transitional
मेम्ब्रेनस युरेथ्रा	A small (1 or 2 cm) portion passing through the external urethral sphincter. This is the narrowest part of the urethra. It is located in the deep perineal pouch. The ducts of the bulbourethral glands (Cowper's gland) enter here.	Pseudostratified columnar
पेनाइल युरेथ्रा	Runs along the length of the penis on its ventral (underneath) surface. It is about 15-16 cm in length, and travels through the corpus spongiosum. The ducts from the urethral gland (gland of Littre) enter here. Some textbooks will subdivide the spongy urethra into two parts, the bulbous and pendulous urethra.	Pseudostratified columnar - proximally, Stratified squamous - distally

The length of a male's urethra, and the fact it contains a prominent bend, makes catheterization more difficult.

हिस्टोलोजी

The epithelium of the urethra starts off as transitional cells as it exits the bladder. Further along the urethra there are stratified columnar cells, then stratified squamous cells near the external meatus (exit hole).

There are small mucus-secreting urethral glands, that help protect the epithelium from the corrosive urine.

Medical problems of the urethra

Hypospadias and epispadias are forms of abnormal development of the urethra in the male, where the meatus is not located at the distal end of the penis (it occurs lower than normal with hypospadias, and higher with epispadias). In a severe chordee, the urethra can develop between the penis and the scrotum.
Infection of the urethra is urethritis, said to be more common in females than males. Urethritis is a common cause of dysuria (pain when urinating).
Related to urethritis is so called urethral syndrome
Passage of kidney stones through the urethra can be painful and subsequently it can lead to urethral strictures.

Endoscopy of the bladder via the urethra is called cystoscopy.

Foreign bodies in the urethra are uncommon, but there have been medical case reports of self-inflicted injuries a result of insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra such as an electrical wire [१].

Sexual physiology

The male urethra is the conduit for semen during sexual intercourse. It also serves as a passage for urine to flow.
