Epithelium of penile urethra (TS:25-TS:28) derived from epithelium of phallic urethra of male/female (TS:21-TS:24). The urethral plate epithelium of male (syn: distal urethral epithelium of male; urethral plate) completely canalises by TS:25 and the plate is no longer present in males from TS:25. By TS:25, the penile urethra opens at the urethral meatus of penile urethra (syn: urethral opening of male) and the proximal urethral meatus has closed. The penile urethra is anatomically located, centrally within the penis and is surrounded by the tissue of the penis, therefore only the epithelial components are necessary parts of penile urethra.
