When do frequent urination starts in pregnancy?
Fairly early on. Maybe from about week 6 and then throughout the first trimester, after which it is supposed to get better for a bit. In the beginning it is because uterus is confined within pelvis and it presses on your bladder as it gets bigger. In 2nd trimester, it grows up and out of the pelvis, taking some of the pressure off. In 3rd trimester, it just about fills every place inside you, and the baby is heavier, too, so your bladder will be sensitive again. If you have pain on urination or feeling you cannot empty your bladder, however, you should see a doctor. You may have a urinary tract infection (also not uncommon during pregnancy!), which requires treatment for both your own health and that of your baby.
How do you remove fluid from lungs?
Fluid AROUND the lungs is called a pleural effusion. If it is a small amount, it may dissipate on it's own. Larger amounts, causing increased difficulty breathing, would call for removal of the fluid, either by a needle tap or a tube inserted into the space around the lung.
What is the function of the bladder in excretory system?
The bladder's main function is to store and release urine. Nerves in the bladder tell you when it is time to urinate (empty your bladder). As the bladder first fills with urine, you may notice a feeling that you need to urinate. The sensation to urinate becomes stronger as the bladder continues to fill and reaches its limit. At that point, nerves from the bladder send a message to the brain that the bladder is full, and your urge to empty your bladder intensifies.
Will i pass a drugtest if smoked weed a month ago?
a mouth swab test is not a method used to test for drug use; there are urineanalysis', hair root test, and a blood test. and with a hair or blood test, no you wont pass, but in a urine test you might it depends on how much you smoked and when you smoked it in proximity to the time you are tested. but if you never really smoke and are clean and then smoke at the beginning of the month a little then drink alots of water then at the end of the month are tested you will probably pass because there is a 'drug cut off level' in urine analysis and if your urine scores below that then youll pass if it doesn't youll fail, if you feel that your going to get drug tested dont smoke.

How can you tell your urine from someone elses urine?
That's a little hard if you're plain looking at it (and you're comparing it with all other people in the world), but if you are a woman, comparing with a man, and it looks pretty darn...bloody (menstruation), then you know it's YOURS and not his. On the other hand, menstruation and what comes out is not really urine, but if you just mean waste of any kind coming out from your body, then that applies.

12 hours max. If the person has been taking fluids normally, after 12 hours their bladder may be too full to empty properly or the person may be unable to pass urine because of a local physical problem that is causing an obstruction, such as an enlarged prostate gland. The other reason may be more serious, that the person is drinking normally but the kidneys are not manufacturing urine and toxins that would normally be excreted in the urine stay in the bloodstream and can make a person very ill indeed. The other scenario is where the person has not been drinking an appropriate quantity of fluids and is too dehydrated to manufacture urine. Dehydration also happens when someone gets vomiting and diarrhoea. Dehydration kills, especially the elderly and the very young. If any of these answers seem right in your case, I urge you to consult your doctor ASAP

There are people who believe drinking urine obliges the body to address the same conditions twice and that this can stimulate the immune system. Believers will maintain most people suffer predjudices against the practice of drinking urine that are excessive or even wrong.
However, we probably have such prejudices because contemporary medical methods have looked for more reliable processes andone of our attitudes is for "cleanliness."
After the first rinsing-out portion, the rest of the urine has been filtered by the kidneys and is relatively (almost) sterile and contains things that have been in one's own body already. But urine will not remain sterile for very long outside the body.
Depending on many factors, the person's state of health or disease, the person's fluid intake throughout the day, the person's consumption of certain foods, whether the person has drunk alcohol, and many, many other variables, urine may taste a little bitter and a little salty. If a person is diabetic and "spilling" sugar into the urine, their urine may smell like rotten oranges and taste sickeningly sweet.
How much is the functional capacity of the urinary bladder?
400 to 600 ml. About 20 ounces on average. It is the same for both men and women, with some variation amongst individuals.
----
The correct answer is that the urinary bladder capacity averages 700-800 ml. It is smaller for females because the uterus occupies the space just superior to the urinary bladder.
----
I believe the term "healthy" bladder must apply in the answer. A Kidney/Bladder Specialist informed me a "healthy" bladder is around the 400 ml (cc) range & AFTER a person voids, about 100 ml (100 cc) "typically" remains.
Age is a factor, as the bladder tends to have the "potential" to stretch & store a much larger quantity, meaning 4 or more times the normal volume (& size) of a "healthy" bladder.
When larger quantities of urine remain AFTER voiding, a physician will recommend options, one of which is self-catheterization (ouch!).
