Bladder expansion. Sequential artwork showing the external structure of an expanding bladder. Successive shades of lighter pink show the bladder expanding greatly in volume from its resting state. It is the wrinkled bladder wall that allows this expansion to contain a large volume of urine if needed,though typical volume at urination is around 300 millilitres. The bladder receives and stores urine from the kidneys through the ureters (tubes at lower right). The urine,which contains nitrogenous waste such as urea,is stored in the bladder. The urine is removed from the body by urination through the urethra (lower centre) | |
