How does urine flow form a catheter?
Urine flows from a catheter due to gravity and the pressure generated by the bladder. When the bladder fills with urine, it contracts, pushing urine through the catheter and into a collection bag. The catheter's design allows for a one-way flow, preventing backflow and ensuring that urine is efficiently drained. Proper positioning and securing of the catheter also help maintain a consistent flow.
