Description
The urinary bladder is an important organ in the urinary system of vertebrates, including humans. It is a hollow, muscular organ located in the pelvis that serves as a reservoir for urine produced by the kidneys before it is expelled from the body through the urethra. The main function of the urinary bladder is to store urine temporarily until it is convenient to release it from the body. The bladder is capable of expanding and contracting to accommodate varying volumes of urine. When the bladder is full, sensory nerves in its walls send signals to the brain, triggering the sensation of needing to urinate.
