ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Bladder. This triangle-shaped, hollow organ is located in the lower abdomen. It is held in place by ligaments that are attached to other organs and the pelvic bones. The bladder’s walls relax and expand to store urine, and contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -The urinary bladder is a temporary storage reservoir for urine. It is located in the pelvic cavity, posterior to the symphysis pubis, and below the parietal peritoneum.

Detailed explanation-3: -A healthy human bladder can hold between 400 to 500 milliliters of urine, or about 2 cups, before it reaches capacity. Though a healthy bladder can stretch and accommodate larger volumes of urine, it’s important to urinate at regular intervals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The bladder is a balloon-shaped muscle that serves as the storage pouch for urine. Urine is made in the kidneys and flows from them to the bladder through the ureters. From the bladder, urine flows through the urethra to the outside of the body.
