Male Urethra: Anatomy, Parts, and Clinical Significance

The male urethra is approximately 20 cm long and serves both urinary and reproductive functions. It is divided into four parts: intramural, prostatic, membranous (external sphincter), and spongy (penile). The membranous urethra is the narrowest and most vulnerable segment, frequently injured in pelvic trauma.

The basal ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei including the striatum, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, and substantia nigra. They form key circuits modulating motor control, procedural learning, and reward processing. Dysfunction underlies Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and other movement disorders.
