To make someone pee in their sleep, wait for them to be sound asleep (give it a couple hours), then take a bowl of slightly-warmer-than-body-temp water and place their entire hand in it. Wait a few minutes, and there you have it...an empty bladder, and a full mattress. I've done this prank many times, with about 90 percent success.
*NOTE* If you have a friend that has to pee a lot, pin them down and try this while they're awake and they have to pee! Me and a friend tried this on another one of our friends and she completely flooded the kitchen floor! Good luck!
Can a person survive with 1 kidney?
Yes. There are a lot of people that are living today with only one kidney. If someone needs a kidney transplant because both of theirs have gone bad they can receive one from a donor so long as they match. So the person that has the transplant has one and the person who donated a kidney has one.
Some people have to due to infections etc. You can survive with one kidney
What if you have to pee but ther is no bathroom?
It depends where you are. If your locked in your room: a garbage can, the floor/rug, pee your pants, under your bed. Outside: in a bush/tree/grass, in your pants. Also, hold it until you drip really fast.
What would happen without a urinary system?

What can happen to you if you hold your urine too long?
um i think you end up having bladder infections or something
but that's impossible because no one can hold their bladder for that long because it begins to build up and eventually it just bursts on its own!!
i remember walking home one day when i was 11 and i had to go really bad!
i tried walking slow or running that just made it worse LOL
Where will the urine from the kidney pass through?
Urine goes from the kidneys to the ureters, and then into the bladder of a pig. Next, the urine goes from the bladder to the urethra. Finally, the urine is expelled from the body.
Boys are able to ejaculate once they have reached Puberty. This usually begins with the discovery of Masturbation.
By stimulating the genitals through masturbation (rubbing the penis) the penis erects and reaches orgasm (climax) and ejaculation.
Ejaculation is the emitting of semen from the penis.
Boys ejaculate when their penis muscles contract and pushes the mixture of sperm and semen into the urethra and come spurting out of the opening in the glans.
Guys stand up at toilet (or less commonly, sit down) and then pee out of the hole at the tip of their penis (where the urethra begins, and where semen also comes out).
A lot of guys also urinate in the bathroom sink. It's not talked about, but it's very common.

What cause urine to be hot when urinating?
Urine is hot because it is stored in the body, which has an average temperature of about 98.6 degrees. By the time the urine leaves the body, it is still hot because of the high body temperature, therefore causing the warmness. But it cools off as it is exposed to the more normal temperatures of outside the body.
What do the kidneys do in a human body?
the kidney in a human body usually purifys the water you drink which turns into urine
Which hormone causes the kidneys to conserve water?
ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)The brain and kidneys regulate the amount of water excreted by the body. When the blood volume is low, the concentration of solutes in the blood is high. When the hypothalamus senses this low blood volume and increased serum osmolality it synthesizes ADH, a small peptide molecule. The pituitary gland then releases ADH into the bloodstream and causes the kidneys to retain water by concentrating the urine and reducing urine volume. Water retention boosts blood volume and decreases serum osmolality.
Does touching warm water really make you urinate?
If another person puts your hand is put into warm water while you are asleep, you will probably urinate. If you put your hand into warm water while you are awake, you will probably not urinate. People put their hands into warm water all the time while they are awake, and they almost never urinate.

What makes you desperate to pee?
Simple. Don't pee.
If you are trying to do this legitimately for whatever reason, try drinking water at regular intervals. Drink more than you normally do, but be sure to let it process through your body of course. Avoid the temptation to give in, and wait for the "desperation" to set in.
Be warned, holding your urine can lead to serious health issues.

What can you drink so you can urinate?
Depends what you're trying to clean your urine of. If it's marijuana, stop smoking about 3 or 4 days before your drug test and start taking two 250mg tablets of Niacin before bed and sometime in the morning until the day of your test. I smoked the day before my first UA took niacin and passed no problems. I've taken 3 UAs and smoked a day or 2 before all of them, took niacin and passed no problem. DO NOT take excessive amounts!!!!!! more than 2 at night and 2 in the morning is not necessary and it could put your health at risk. Also, when your skin starts to burn like hell, that means its working so don't be worried by that.
you pee because you pee that's why! that is not why... it is much more complicated...
you drink fluids...
they go through a process where your body takes what it needs from the pee...
all the extra stuff goes out where your parts are...
that is why you pee
When you cannot empty your bladder completely, or at all, despite an urge to urinate, you have urinary retention. Failure to treat the condition can lead to infections or damage to the urinary tract and kidneys.
