	Reproductive System / Male Reproductive System / Duct System
		The longest portion is the penile urethra (also called spongy urethra or cavernous urethra), which extends the length of the penis and opens to the outside at the external urethral orifice.
		The prostatic urethra is the proximal portion that passes through the prostate gland.
		The next portion, the membranous urethra, is a short region that passes through the pelvic floor.

	eMedicine - Urethral Strictures : Article by Jon Timothy Posey, MD
		The term urethral stricture generally refers to the anterior urethra and is secondary to scarring in the spongy erectile tissue of the corpus spongiosum.
		The urethra lies within the corpus spongiosum, beginning at the level of the bulbous urethra and extending distally through the length of the penile urethra.
		The corpus spongiosum receives a dual blood supply via anastomoses between dorsal and urethral artery branches in the glans.

	New Device Approval - URYX Urethral Bulking Agent - P030030
		The device is a chemical solution that is injected into the wall of the urethra near the bladder and solidifies into a spongy material that bulks the wall of the urethra to help prevent uncontrolled urination.
		One cause of stress urinary incontinence is a weakness of the urethral sphincter muscles, which help open and close the tube from the bladder that drains urine from the body (urethra).
		URYX® is intended to keep urine from accidentally leaking out of the bladder in women with poorly functioning urethral sphincter muscles by bringing the walls of the urethra closer together.

	Penile Cancer
		The spongy urethra within the penis proper is surrounded by a "loose connective tissue" called the "corpus spongiosum" (meaning "spongy body").
		The corpus spongiosum is flexible and helps protect the delicate urethra.
		The corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum fill with blood during erection, the source of that blood are branches from the "dorsal artery of the penis" which arises from the "internal pudic" artery, which itself is a brach of the "anterior iliac" artery, which branches off of the large "desceding aorta".

	Female ejaculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The glands surrounding the female urethra are variously known as the paraurethral glands, periurethral glands, Skene's glands, "female prostate", or urethral sponge, and are the spongy tissue associated with the Gräfenberg spot.
		Skene's glands originally referred to only two of these glands which had openings visible at the mouth of the urethra and the others were designated paraurethral glands although the two terms are often used imprecisely to refer to all of the glands.
		In addition to fluid from the paraurethral glands and urine from the bladder, fluid could be expelled from the vagina due to a sudden reduction in size due to muscle contractions.

	Female ejaculation
		The glands surrounding the female urethra are variously known as the Peraurethral Glands, Periurethral Glands, Skene's glands, Female Prostate, or Urethral Sponge and are the spongy tissue associated with the Gräfenberg spot.
		In females, this is called the urethral sponge, and serves the same function in regards to shejaculation.
		The prostate, though examined rectally, is a doughnut-shaped cluster of glands which encircle the base of the urethra, and produce most of the content in seminal fluid.

		We believe that bulb muscle contractions are transmitted to the glans via the spongy tissue (corpus spongiosum) around the urethra.
		It’s the muscle you use to expel the last drops of urine from the urethra after urination.
		Repeat the bulb muscle contraction while gently squeezing the urethra between thumb and forefinger at a point midway along the penis.

	Kinsey: Genitalia
		The corpus spongiosum is a chamber of spongy tissue surrounding the urethra.
		Other important parts located internally are the cowper's gland (located just above the root of the corpus spongiosum) which produces pre-ejacuatory fluid, and the prostate gland, which blocks off the urethra at the opening to the bladder, to keep urine from entering the semen.
		From there, the semen will travel along the urethra and out of the body.

	Urologic Emergencies - Fournier's Gangrene - urologychannel
		Fournier's gangrene develops when bacteria infect the body through a wound, usually in the perineum, the tube that carries urine outside the body from the bladder (urethra), or the colorectal area.
		Physical examination and blood tests are used to diagnose Fournier's gangrene and the diagnosis is made when examination reveals gangrenous (i.e., spongy, weeping, discolored) skin.
		The chambers in the penis that fill with blood to create an erection (corpora cavernosa), testicles, and urethra are not usually affected.

	Reproductive System
		In a male embryo, androgens secreted by the testes cause the phallus to elongate into the penis and the urogenital folds to fuse and form the spongy urethra.
		Incomplete fusion of the urogenital folds creates abnormal openings of the urethra on the ventral aspect of the penis.
		Without influence of androgens, the phallus becomes the clitoris, the urogenital folds become the labia minora, and the labioscrotal swellings become the labia majora.

	Center for Reconstructive Urology: Urethral Stricture
		Stricture disease of the posterior urethra is often caused by a urethral injury associated with a pelvic fracture, such as an automobile or industrial accident.
		Urethral strictures that are not caused by pelvic injury most commonly occur in the anterior urethra.
		These strictures are usually associated with a process called spongiofibrosis, where the soft vascular spongy tissue surrounding the tissue develops scarring.

	KISISS: Sexuality Topics
		The G-spot is an area of spongy tissue, wrapped around the urethra.
		It is sometimes referred to as the urethral sponge, and was made famous by the book released in 1982, "The G-spot" by Ladas, Whipple, and Perry.
		It is named for Ernst Grafenberg, a gynecologist who first wrote about the urethra as a pleasure zone in the 1950's.

	Reproductive System
		In a male embryo, androgens secreted by the testes cause the phallus to elongate into the penis and the urogenital folds to fuse and form the spongy urethra.
		Incomplete fusion of the urogenital folds creates abnormal openings of the urethra on the ventral aspect of the penis.
		Failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum (cryptorchidism) is the most common malformation of the male genital system, resulting in infertility and an increased risk of testicular cancer.

	* Corpus spongiosum - (Sexuality): Definition
		The tissue that surrounds the urethra inside the penis and is responsible, like the corpus cavernosa, for an erection; also the type of tissue that forms the glans of the clitoris and the penis...
		The shaft or body of the penis consists of two parallel cylindrical bodies, the corpora cavernosa, and beneath them, surrounding the urethra, the corpus spongiosum.
		At the time of erection, blood flows into the cavernous and spongy bodies of the penis, or more precisely the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum.

	Development of External Male Genitalia
		The tip of the penis, which is now called the glans, then begins to form a cord of ectoderm which grows toward the spongy urethra.
		As the genital tubercle is elongating and growing to form the penis, the urogenital folds which lie on either side of the urogenital membrane begin to move towards each other forming a groove, this is known as the urethral groove.
		This cord is known as the urethral plate and when it canalizes, the end of the urethra (external urethral orifice) is at the tip of the penis.

	The Female Reproductive System
		In front, an upper portion of each labium minus passes over the clitoris—the structure, in the female, corresponding to the penis (excluding the urethra) in the male—to form a fold, the prepuce of the clitoris, and a lower portion passes beneath the clitoris to form its frenulum.
		The external opening of the urethra is some 2.5 centimetres (about one inch) behind the clitoris and immediately in front of the vaginal opening.
		Partially concealed beneath the forward ends of the labia minora, it possesses a sensitive tip of spongy erectile tissue, the glans clitoridis.

	Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction)
		A central spongy chamber called the corpus spongiosum, which contains the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder through the penis.
		Two parallel columns of spongy tissue called the corpus cavernosa, or erectile bodies.
		It appears to stimulate collagen production in the corpus cavernosum, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.

	Untitled Document
		The G spot is an area which is actually called the urethral sponge - an area of spongy tissue (corpus spongiosum) that also contains clusters of nerve-endings, blood vessels, paraurethra glands and ducts - that covers the female urethra (urinary tube) on all sides.
		The Grafenberg spot is located on the front wall of the vagina “about halfway between the back of pubic bone and the front of the cervix” (Sneddon 1996).
		The G-spot or (Grafenberg spot) was named after the gynecologist Ernest Grefenberg, who first wrote about the location of the erotic area (Whipple and Komisaruk, 1999).

	Development of External Male Genitalia
		The urogenital folds fuse together on the ventral side of the developing penis, enclosing what will now become the spongy urethra.
		As the genital tubercle is elongating and growing to form the penis, the urogenital folds which lie on either side of the urogenital membrane begin to move towards each other forming a groove, this is known as the urethral groove.
		If the urogenital folds fail to close, hypospadias results.

	Roberta M Meehan - Genetics for Theologians
		As the phallus elongates to form a penis, the urogenital folds fuse with each other along the ventral surface of the penis to form the spongy urethra.
		The unfused urogenital folds form the labia minora and the unfused labioscrotal folds form the labia majora."
		The phallus becomes the relatively small clitoris which develops like the penis except that the urogenital folds do not fuse.

	Male Reproductive Development
		Urogenetal folds lie on either side of the urethral groove, and as they expand they come to cover over the urethral groove, enclosing the spongy urethra.
		The scrotum develops from labioscrotal folds that develop lateral to the urogenital folds.
