Urinary Meatus

Drawing of Urethra MeatusThe female external urethral orifice is the external opening of the urethra, from which urine is ejected during urination. It is located about 2.5 cm (1 in) behind the clitoris and immediately in front of the vagina in the vulval vestibule. It usually assumes the form of a short, sagittal cleft with slightly raised margins. To its left and right are the openings of the Skene’s glands.
