What is the purpose of the urinary bladder?

Answer 1

The bladder is what collects the urine from your body, prior to urinisation, or disposal, of the liquid. Think of it like a storage tank. If you didnt have a bladder, you would have nowhere to store the urine in your body, and youd end up either falling very very sick, or running to the loo every 2 minutes to pee 2 drops of urine.

Answer 2

The purpose of the urinary bladder is to remove wastes that are filtered from the bloodstream. The fact that it has spinchter muscles that we can control, as opposed to say constantly weeping out of our pores, makes it quite advantageous, as well. Otherwise you would need tubes going from the kidneys to let the urine out. They are called a Nephrostomy.

Answer 3

To hold the liquids that you body produces.

You don't want to sit on a toliet all the time when you have something to drink! The bladder holds these liquids until your body decides to release them.

Answer 9
