The bladder is what collects the urine from your body, prior to urinisation, or disposal, of the liquid. Think of it like a storage tank. If you didnt have a bladder, you would have nowhere to store the urine in your body, and youd end up either falling very very sick, or running to the loo every 2 minutes to pee 2 drops of urine.

What is the Function of the urinary bladder of the fish?

The urinary bladder is situated behind the Vent (Anus) on the fish. Just as it is on humans, it is there to release any unwanted waste from the body. Fish have two bladders, one is a swim bladder and the other is the urinary bladder. Do not get these mixed up. The swim bladder allows the fish swim in different densities of water and the urinary bladder is to pass urine. Fish do not use urea to get rid of their nitrogen like mammals do, but instead use NH3 Ammonia.


How do the structure and connectivity of the urinary bladder of the fetal pig differ from those of the urinary bladder of the human?

The urinary bladder of the fetal pig is relatively more elongated and less muscular compared to that of humans, reflecting the different urinary needs during development. Additionally, the fetal pig's bladder is connected to the allantoic duct, which facilitates the excretion of waste into the amniotic fluid, a feature not present in humans. In contrast, the human bladder is more robust and muscular, adapted for a postnatal life with direct urine storage and regulation. Overall, these structural differences reflect adaptations to their respective developmental and functional requirements.


Do Mice have Bladders?

Bladder irrigation is a medical procedure used to flush out the bladder and urinary tract, often to remove blood clots, debris, or infection.

Overall, bladder irrigation promotes urinary tract health and facilitates recovery from certain urological conditions.
