What else can I help you with?
When your bladder is full your lower back just above your hip hurts?
Yes, this is called referred pain from the bladder being over stretched.
Where is transitional epithelium located in the body?
Urinary Bladder
Is stretchy epithelial tissue called transitional?
Yes, you could say so. These cells appear to be square with a rounded surface when the organ or the tube in which they are found is not stretched. When the organ or tube is stretched (e.g. when the bladder is filled with urine), the tissue is compressed and the cells become stretched and more flat.
Which epithelial tissue has cells that can change shape when stretched versus contracted?
Transitional epithelium is the epithelial tissue that has cells capable of changing shape when stretched (such as when the bladder is full) or contracted (when the bladder is empty). This type of epithelium allows for tissue expansion without losing its integrity.
Can a human bladder be stretched through exercise to reduce bathroom trips?
The human bladder can be stretched through exercise so that a person may hold their urine for longer. This practice, however, is dangerous as holding onto the urine for longer may lead to urinary tract infections as the tracts have to be routinely flushed to maintain the correct flora.
What is the medical term meaning bladder distended with urine?
urinary retention is when the urinary bladder is unable to empty. This can be due to either an acute or chronic condition. The bladder muscle gets stretched beyond the point of having enough strength to contract and allow the bladder to empty. Sometimes common medications contribute to the problem.
What is the trigone of bladder explain clinical significance of it?
The trigone is a smooth triangular region of the internal urinary bladder formed by the two ureteral orifices and the internal urethral orifice. The area is very sensitive to expansion and once stretched to a certain degree, the urinary bladder signals the brain of its need to empty. The signals become stronger as the bladder continues to fill.
How would you classify the receptors for a full bladder?
The receptors for a full bladder are classified as mechanoreceptors. These receptors are sensitive to the stretching of the bladder wall that occurs as it fills with urine, sending signals to the brain indicating the need for voiding.
Why does it hurt when you hold in your urine?
Because your bladder is only designed to hold so much. Once it reaches a point where the tissues are stretched too far, the nerve endings in the bladder send pain signals to your brain. The muscle that is part of the layered bladder wall, the detrusor muscle, starts to contract, increasing the pressure. At that point, break off what you're doing and go!
What are the trigone?
The trigone is a smooth triangular region of the internal urinary bladder formed by the two ureteral orifices and the internal urethral orifice.The area is very sensitive to expansion and once stretched to a certain degree, the urinary bladder signals the brain of its need to empty. The signals become stronger as the bladder continues to fill.Embryologically, the trigone of the bladder is derived from the caudal end of mesonephric ducts, which is of mesodermal origin (the rest of the bladder isendodermal). In the female the mesonephric ducts regresses, causing the trigone to be less prominent, but still present.
What is a description of pelvic relaxation?
The pelvic floor normally holds the uterus and the bladder in position above the vagina. When the pelvic floor becomes stretched/damaged, these organs can sag into the vagina, sometimes bulging out.
What is distended urinary bladder?
It means that it is enlarged for some reason. It could mean that you really need to empty it and haven't. Anything that blocks the urethra from allowing the urine to flow, such as an enlarged prostate or kidney stones, can result in a distended bladder.Another symptom of a distended bladder is a delay in urination. A person may need to strain in order to begin the flow of urine.
