Do turtles pee using their gender defining genitals?

Weird question, I know.

However, I'm still curious. Do turtles, in general, pee from their penis/vagina or, like birds and other animals that have cloaca, are their bladders connected to their bowels?

-Thank you in advance.


If this trait varies in different types of turtles then I'm most curious about Diamondbacks, Red Eared Sliders and Box turtles.
