In anatomy, the urinary bladder is the organ that collects urine excreted by the kidneys prior to disposal by urination. A hollow [1] muscular, and distensible (or elastic) organ, the bladder sits on the pelvic floor. Urine enters the bladder via the ureters and exits via the urethra.

Embryologically, the bladder is derived from the urogenital sinus and, it is initially continuous with the allantois. In males, the base of the bladder lies between the rectum and the pubic symphysis. It is superior to the prostate, and separated from the rectum by the rectovesical excavation. In females, the bladder sits inferior to the uterus and anterior to the vagina. It is separated from the uterus by the vesicouterine excavation. In infants and young children, the urinary bladder is in the abdomen even when empty.[2]

Why does the bladder need to be a muscular sac?

The bladder needs to be a muscular sac to store and effectively expel urine. The muscles in the bladder wall contract to push urine out of the body during urination, and they also relax to allow the bladder to stretch as it fills with urine.


How does it feel nice when you push your bladder in when you need a pee?

I think it's because your g-spot is closely positioned right under where your bladder is. So pushing down on a full bladder causes it to put some pressure on your g-spot.

Is the urine moved down to the ureters into the bladder by gravitational pull alone?

No, urine is moved down to the ureters into the bladder by peristaltic contractions of the smooth muscles in the walls of the ureters. The muscles contract in a wave-like motion to push the urine towards the bladder.
