Bladder and urinary tract

    Bladder and urinary tract

    The bladder is a hollow muscle that stores urine, a waste product that the body excretes from the kidneys. Urine is produced in the kidneys, filtered from the blood, and then sent to the bladder through the ureters. When the bladder is full, it signals the brain that we need to urinate. Bladder function is important for the body to maintain proper fluid balance and get rid of waste products. When this does not work, you should contact a urologist.
