WHAT DOES URETHRAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Urethra

In anatomy, the urethra is a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the urinary meatus for the removal of fluids from the body. In male placental mammals, the urethra travels through the penis, and carries semen as well as urine. In female placental mammals, the urethra is shorter and emerges at the female external urethral orifice above the vaginal opening. Female placental mammals use their urethra only for urinating, but male placental mammals use their urethra for both urination and ejaculation. The external urethral sphincter is a striated muscle that allows voluntary control over urination.

Definition of urethral in the English dictionary

The definition of urethral in the dictionary is relating to the urethra or the canal that in most mammals conveys urine from the bladder out of the body.
