Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra. The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Urinary Bladder Is a Reservoir for Urine The wall of the bladder contains folds called rugae, and a layer of smooth muscle called the detrusor muscle. As urine fills the bladder, the rugae smooth out to accommodate the volume. The detrusor relaxes to hold the urine, then contracts for urination.

Detailed explanation-3: -The structures of the urinary system consist of two kidneys, two ureters, the urinary bladder, and the urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to produce urine. Once produced, urine will flow through the ureters into the bladder for storage until it’s ready to be excreted through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. The size and shape of the urinary bladder varies with the amount of urine it contains and with the pressure it receives from surrounding organs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The body of the bladder receives inferior support from the pelvic diaphragm in females or prostate in males and lateral support from the obturator internus and levator ani muscles. At its apex, the medial umbilical ligament, or the urachal remnant, courses along the anterior abdominal wall to the umbilicus.
