The bladder is a hollow muscular sac that stores urine. It is located in the pelvis and is part of the urinary system. As well as the bladder, the urinary system includes two kidneys, two tubes called ureters leading from the kidneys into the bladder, and another tube called the urethra leading out of the bladder. In women, the urethra is a short tube that opens in front of the birth canal (vagina). In men, the urethra is longer and passes through the prostate and down the penis.
The kidneys produce urine, which travels to the bladder through the ureters. The bladder is like a balloon and inflates as it fills. When it is time to go to the toilet, the bladder muscle contracts and urine is passed through the urethra and out of the body.
“Ultimately, our role is part of making the guests’ Lodge stay as comfortable as possible during a very difficult time—reducing the headaches and heartaches often experienced alongside a long-distance cancer diagnosis.
