Urethra -- lined by epithelia of different types, usually pseudostratified or stratified columnar (Fig. 19-18).

• Examine the urethra in a transverse section of the penis (slide 109).

Epithelia in the male reproductive tract often are not exactly like the typical epithelial classifications we learned earlier.

How would you classify the type of epithelium that lines the urethra in the penis?

Digestive system is the next unit.
