Girls have bladders, both men and women have bladders, and like the heart and kidneys, which are all present in the human body, the bladder is also an essential organ of the body.
The bladder is an important organ of the urinary system. The urinary system consists of the kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra. Its main role is to excrete the wastes and excess water produced by the body during metabolism and to maintain the balance and stability of the internal body environment.
The urine produced by the kidneys is transported to the bladder through the ureters. The bladder is the organ that stores urine, which is eventually excreted through the urethra.
Located in the pelvis, the bladder is a flat, sac-like organ with a certain capacity. When the bladder does not contain urine, its interior is an empty state. At this time, it is completely within the pelvic cavity and cannot be touched by hand.
When the bladder is filled with a large amount of urine, it may be above the pelvic level. A soft-textured, well-defined, rounded mass can be palpated with the hand in the lower abdomen. When pressed, there is a noticeable sensation of holding or urinating, which is the bladder. The bladder is connected to the posterior urethra at the front, which is adjacent to the pelvic wall on both sides, and at the back there are two ureters connected to the bladder to collect urine produced by the kidneys.
The organ that distinguishes males from females is not the bladder, but the reproductive system; males have testicles, penis, and prostate, while females do not; females have uterus, ovaries, and vagina, while males do not.
