What determines when you need to go to the bathroom?
A
how full the large intestines is
B
how full the stomach is
C
how full the bladder is
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The bladder expands when it fills up, like a balloon. Nerves in the bladder wall detect the expansion and send a signal to the brain, letting it know that the bladder is full.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overactive bladder (OAB) is a “gotta go now” feeling. You have the urge to pee even though your bladder isn’t full. OAB can lead to a condition called urinary incontinence where you leak urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Medications, alcohol and caffeine. All of these can dull your nerves, which affect signals to your brain and cause your bladder to overflow. Diuretics and caffeine may cause your bladder to fill rapidly and potentially leak.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s a strange question and one you’ve probably never considered. But experts say there is a certain amount of time it should take to empty your bladder. From house cats to elephants, most mammals take about 20 seconds to urinate. That goes for humans as well.
