At only about 1.5 inches (35 mm) long, the female adult urethra is shorter than the adult male urethra (approx. or 8 inches, or 200mm). The female urethra is located immediately behind (posterior to) the pubic symphysis and is embedded into the front wall of the vagina. Muscular layer - continuous with the muscular layer of the bladder, this extends the full length of the urethra.
The bladder swells when it's full and gets smaller as it empties. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through the urethra (u-REE-thruh). In women, the urethral opening is located just above the vagina. In men, it's at the tip of the penis.
