  3. Important Organs In the Urinary System

  4. The average bladder holds between 300ml and 600ml of urine. That’s similar to a can of fizzy drink or a pint of milk. • The main function of the bladder is to store and release waste in the form of urine. • The bladder is a stretchy, muscular bag that sits just behind the pubic bone. • The bladder is like a balloon and swells into a round shape when full and gets smaller when empty. • If the urinary system is healthy, urine may stay in the bladder for up to about 5 hours before excretion, depending on the amount of liquid consumed. We also obtain some fluid from food. facts:

The average person passes approx. 1.5 litres to 2 litres of urine in 24 hours. • The muscle in the bladder wall is called the ‘detrusor’ muscle. • If muscles supporting the bladder are weakened, you may suffer from stress incontinence. You can help to strengthen these by doing pelvic floor exercises. • The inside of the bladder is covered with a urine-proof lining called the urothelium. • The bladder has tubes called ureters going into it and a tube called a urethra going out of it

  6.
