Virtsaputkensa

Virtsaputkensa is a Finnish word that translates to "his/her/its urethra." The urethra is a tube that connects the bladder to the outside of the body. In males, it also carries semen during ejaculation. The urethra is part of the urinary system, which is responsible for eliminating waste products from the body in the form of urine. The length and function of the urethra differ between biological sexes. In females, it is shorter and primarily serves the urinary function. In males, it is longer and serves both urinary and reproductive functions. The opening of the urethra is called the meatus. Conditions affecting the urethra can include infections, blockages, and stones.
