vesicourethral
English
Etymology
vesico- + urethral
Adjective
vesicourethral (not comparable)
- (anatomy) Relating to, or connecting, the urinary bladder and the urethra.
Usage notes
Do not confuse vesicourethral with vesicoureteral; vesicourethral flow is the normal flow of urine, whereas vesicoureteral flow is retrograde (that is, backward), and the backwardness is what puts the reflux in vesicoureteral reflux.
