male urethra

A urethra that is part of a male reproductive system. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the male urethra is

A urethra that is part of a male reproductive system. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the male urethra is

It sits within the urinary system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.

What the male urethra connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of male organism.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the male urethra. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Questions

Where is the male urethra?

What does the male urethra connect to?

Part of: male organism.

Is the male urethra the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
