The urinary bladder is part of the excretory system. The excretory system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. It's function is to remove urea and other compounds from the body, and to maintain the balance of salts and pH in the body. The urinary bladder, commonly just called the bladder, is located behind the pelvic bone and may protrude into the abdomen when full. It's function is to store urine (commonly called "pee") until there is an opportunity to empty the bladder via the urethra.
