Urethra

The tube that carries urine from the bladder, out of the body

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to get toothpaste out of a nearly empty tube, squeezing just right to guide the paste through the narrow opening without making a mess. Similarly, the urethra functions as the body’s own tube, directing urine from the bladder out of the body in a controlled manner. Just like the tube of toothpaste ensures the paste flows smoothly when squeezed, the urethra provides a pathway for urine to be expelled efficiently from your bladder.
