In anatomy, the urethra is a tube which connects the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. The urethra has an excretory function in both sexes to pass urine to the outside, and also a reproductive function in the male, as a passage for sperm.
The external urethral sphincter is a smooth muscle that allows voluntary control over urination.
