When the bladder is moderately full it contains about 0.5 liter and assumes an oval form; the long diameter of the oval measures about 12 cm. and is directed upward and forward.

This belongs in a Health topic, not "special education."\n\nAre you talking about medical equipment, or your own body's urinary tract?\n\nIf you want to improve your urinary health, drink 6 to 8 servings of water each day. Also, do drink cran-rasberry juices. It helps a lot.

General Prevalence:\nUI affects 200 million people worldwide. 5 \nBased on expert opinion, 25 million adult Americans experience transient or chronic UI. 6 NAFC estimates that 75-80% of those sufferers are women, 9-13 million of whom have bothersome, severe, symptoms. \nConsumer research reveals that one in four women over the age of 18 experience episodes of leaking urine involuntarily. 2 \nOne-third of men and women ages 30-70 have experienced loss of bladder control at some point in their adult lives and may be still living with the symptoms. 2 \nOf men and women ages 30-70 who awaken during the night to use the bathroom, more than one-third get up twice or more per night to urinate, fitting the clinical diagnosis of nocturia. Of these adults, one in eight say they sometimes lose urine on the way to the bathroom. 2 \nTwo-thirds of men and women age 30-70 have never discussed bladder health with their doctor. 2 \nOne in eight Americans who have experienced loss of bladder control have been diagnosed. Men are less likely to be diagnosed than women. Men are also less likely to talk about it with friends and family, and are more likely to be uninformed. 2 \nOn average, women wait 6.5 years from the first time they experience symptoms until they obtain a diagnosis for their bladder control problem(s). 2 \nTwo-thirds of individuals who experience loss of bladder control symptoms do not use any treatment or product to manage their incontinence. 2

Well 5 to 7 inches is the AVERAGE. If you're an inch or two off of that, you are still normal so it doesn't mean s--t! You are no better or no worse than anyone with a smaller or bigger weenie! Gays may find you particularly attractive but that's about it. Prepare for lots of extra attention at urinals but otherwise just go on with your life normally. Hope this helps!

The odds are pretty slim!  Unless you have a catheter that's obstructed in some way and the urine cannot flow out, the odds of your bladder bursting because you "hold it in" is extremely rare.  However, by holding it in, you increase your chance of getting a UTI (urinary tract infection), because urine is an excellent place to harbour bacteria.  Also, holding it in is harder on your kidneys than anything else and it will make your urine much more concentrated.  Not a good thing.

You probably a have a weak bladder.

No, it could be diabetes, it could be your pregnant, but that is usually not until much further along in the pregnancy when the fetus starts pushing up against the bladder, how many liquids a day do you consume? That could have a lot to do with it. Especially if you drink a lot of water or tea.

Sorry, but none of that is really correct.  The temperature of what you drink has nothing to do with how often you have to go.  Your bladder is made of transitional epithelial cells - big words yes - but it really means that the bladder can expand as it fills.  On average a bladder can hold between 400-700 mL of flud - remember this is AVERAGE and there can be variations.  You may just have a smaller bladder.  On the other hand - women get bladder infections (cystitis as it is medically known) because we have a shorter urethra - tube from outside opening into the bladder.  There for it is easier for bacteria to get inside our bodies.  Improper wiping after using the bathroom (women should always wipe front to back) can move e.coli up to the opening to your bladder.  Hope this helps

At death, the urinary and rectal sphincters (rings of muscle) relax, allowing any contents (liquids, solids, gasses) to void from the body. So the answer is ... if the urinary bladder is rather full, most of the contents will drain out, especially if gravity favors this. But those last few cc's that you have to "push" out will not, because there is no more muscular contraction to create the push.

everyone who said the bladder doesn't process anything is right, but assuming you meant kidneys, I would say the in to out time depends on a lot of things. Some of them include how hydrated you are, what kind of toxins and wastes you've got floating through your body that your body wants to get rid of, and the levels of certain hormones, such as antidiuretic hormone (this one keeps you from peeing until you become a wrinkly prune, so you can imagine what too little or too much can do to you).

Most sources state the volume of blood in an average human adult, who is between 150 to 160 pounds, as between 4.7 and 5 liters, although the more recent sources state the volume of blood in an average adult as 4.7 liters. Sources state that an 80-pound child had about half that amount, and an 8-pound infant has about 8.5 ounces. People who live at high altitudes, where the air contains less oxygen, may have up to 1.9 liters more blood than people who live in low altitude regions

A daily intake of 1-2 liters of water is required for the normal physiological functioning of the body, depending on the ambient weather conditions. The absolute minimum over the long term is about 1.6 liters (600 ml for urine, 200 ml for fecal losses, and 800 ml for losses via the skin and lungs). This includes water contained in food (i.e. it is not necessary to drink 1-2 liters of water a day).\n\nFor those who ask about a glass : a liter is 5 normal drinking glasses as each is 200 cubic cl

If you exercise vigorously every day, you can drink at 3-4 litres safely.  If you dont exercise  that much or that often, stick with just 2-3 litres or you're flushing nutrients out of your body.

The lung capacity varies from person to person - like a muscle, some have healthier and more effective lungs.\n\nI remember doing an experiment at school (man, that was years ago) that gave us our lung capacity in litres!\n\nTLC [Total Lung Capacity] is approximately 4000 to 6000 mL in a healthy young adult.
