Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Balloon angioplasty is a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked arteries. It uses a balloon attached to a catheter that’s inserted into an artery. At the place where deposits of plaque have closed off or narrowed the channel for blood flow, the balloon is inflated.

Detailed explanation-2: -The urinary bladder can store up to 500 ml of urine in women and 700 ml in men. People already feel the need to urinate (pee) when their bladder has between 200 and 350 ml of urine in it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like a balloon, the bladder’s elastic walls stretch to store urine. When urine is emptied out, the walls flatten together. A layer of muscle surrounds the inner lining of the bladder.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coronary angioplasty (AN-jee-o-plas-tee), also called percutaneous coronary intervention, is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty uses a tiny balloon catheter that is inserted in a blocked blood vessel to help widen it and improve blood flow to the heart.
