| | | | | \- Paraurethral | | | | | glands or | | | | | female | | | | | prostate, are a | | | | | pair of glands | | | | | located on | | | | | either side of | | | | | the female | | | | | urethra. | | | | | | | | | | **[Urethra | | | | | Mucosa]{.underl | | | | | ine}** | | | | | | | | | | \- This lining | | | | | helps the | | | | | urethra | | | | | accommodate the | | | | | passage of | | | | | urine and | | | | | prevents | | | | | leakage between | | | | | voids. | | | | | Additionally, | | | | | the surrounding | | | | | musculature, | | | | | including the | | | | | external | | | | | urethral | | | | | sphincter, | | | | | provides | | | | | voluntary | | | | | control over | | | | | the release of | | | | | urine. | | |
