Causes, incidence, and risk factorsA person's ability to hold urine depends on normal function of the lower urinary tract, kidneys, and nervous system. The person must also have the physical and mental ability to recognize and respond to the urge to urinate.
The bladder's ability to fill and store urine requires a working sphincter muscle (which controls the flow of urine out of the body) and a stable bladder wall muscle (detrusor).
The process of urination involves two phases:
Filling and storage
Emptying
During the filling and storage phase, the bladder stretches so it can hold the increasing amount of urine. The bladder of an average person can hold 350 ml to 550 ml of urine. Generally, a person feels like they need to urinate when there is approximately 200 ml of urine in the bladder.
The nervous system tells you that you need to urinate. It also allows the bladder to continue to fill.
The emptying phase requires the detrusor muscle to contract, forcing urine out of the bladder. The sphincter muscle must relax at the same time, so that urine can flow out of the body.
The bladder of an infant automatically contracts when a certain volume of urine is collected in the bladder. As the child grows older and learns to control urination, part of the brain (cerebral cortex) helps prevent bladder muscle contraction. This allows urination to be delayed until the person is ready to use the bathroom.
Undesired bladder muscle contractions may occur from nervous system (neurological) problems and bladder irritation.

Can you live with out the bladder?
You will not die without a bladder IF there is a way for urine to exit the body. Surgeons cut a small hole through the lower abdomen where a urinary bag is placed to collect urine. This bag must be emptied multiple times a day AND changed on a schedule. So it is not a nice replacement for a urinary bladder but there is no other choice.
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.
How long can a burst blood vessel in bladder bleed for?

Can you have your bladder removed?
Yes, your bladder can be removed. It is a major surgery, but my 81 year old mother who learned she had bladder cancer, had hers removed last year, and is doing well. They create a stoma and you use a bag on the outside of your body to collect the urine. There is also a surgery that creates a 'new' bladder to replace the original, but it is an extensive surgery, and not usually recommended for an elderly person. In that case you are able to continue as 'normal' without the use of a bag.
Hope this helps you.
