The urethra of the male is considerably longer, extending from the bladder through the pelvic girdle (membranous urethra) and continuing to the penis as the penile urethra, opening at the tip of the penis.
Which urethra is longer -- the males or females?
The female urethra is much shorter than that of the male, being only 4 cm (1.5 inches) long. It begins at the bladder neck and opens to the outside just after passing through the urethral sphincter.
Which part of urethra is longest?
The spongy urethra (cavernous portion of urethra, penile urethra) is the longest part of the male urethra, and is contained in the corpus spongiosum of the penis. It is about 15 cm long, and extends from the termination of the membranous portion to the external urethral orifice.
