What is urinary bladder? function and embryonic development of urinary bladder along with diseases related to urinary bladder
URINARY BLADDER
introduction
After the urine is formed in the kidneys it is transferred from the kidneys by help of a pair of a ureter to a special organ which goes by the name of the urinary bladder where the urine is stored for sometime and thus ultimately removed from the body. You can also understand urinary bladder as it acts as a temporary store house for the urine. Urinary bladder is a hollow muscular and elastic organ. A normal urinary bladder can hold about 400 - 600 ml of urine before getting the urge to urinate this urge to urinate is under control in adults but it is not properly under-controlled in case of children or more precisely you can say toddlers the wall of the urinary bladder is normally about 3-5 mm thick but this value can vary a little bit when it is fulled by urine. In a case when the urine starts to accumulate more than a certain limit that is a expansion of the wall of the bladder that is able because of a series of ridges that is present in the inner wall of the bladder and it is known as the rugae. If we talk about the position of the urinary bladder in the human body than it is placed on the floor of the pelvis that is also known as the pelvic floor it is situated below the peritoneal cavity near the pelvic floor and behind the pubic symphysis. When the urinary bladder is totally empty it is about the size of the pear. Urinary bladder is a component of the human urinary system and the precursor from which the urinary bladder is developed during the embryogeneis is the urogenital sinus. It removes the urine stores in it through the help of a external opening of the body that is known as the urethra. Like the pleura that covers the lungs from the outside the outside of the bladder is also protected by a serous membrane. The muscles that forms the urinary bladder is smooth muscle and the smooth muscle of the urinary bladder goes by a special name that is known as the detrusor muscles. The whole body of the urinary bladder is divided into some different sections that are as following
- body
- neck
- apex
- fundus
- two ureteric orifices from where a pair of ureter enters in the bladder that moves all the urine from the kidney to the bladder
- and the other opening is internal urethral orifice
- superior vesical artery
- inferior vesical artery
- vaginal artery
- internal iliac arteries
- uterine arteries
- vesical veins
- internal iliac arteries
- vesical venous plexus
- internal sphincter
- external sphincter
- superior hypogastric plexuses
- inferior hypogastric plexuses
- pelvic splanchnic nerves
- general afferent fibers
- pudendal nerve
- hypogastric nerve
embryonic development of urinary bladder
The bladder and the urethra during the time of embryo-development derived from he cloaca which is actually a hind-gut structure that is a common chamber for the gastrointestinal and the urinary waste. The main precursor of the urinary bladder if the urogenital sinus. In the 4th-7th week of the embryo development it is divided into main two parts by the uro rectal spectum and these two parts are as following
- urogenital sinus
- anal canal
this urogenital sinus is further divided into further three sections or part or section and each section part than again forms a specific and these parts are
- upper part
- pelvic part
- caudal part
the upper part of the urogenital sinus forms the bladder. The pelvic part in males form the prostate gland and membranous urethra whereas in females it form the entire urethra and some of the reproductive tract and the last caudal part forms in females some part of the reproductive tract whereas in males it forms the urethra as the bladder developers from the urogenital sinus it absorbs the caudal part of the wolffian duct that ultimately becomes the trigone of the bladder. In the initial development of the urinary bladder it is continuous with the allantois and is also initially drained by the allantois this only occurs during the fetal development stage and this structure in later life becomes a fibrous cord that is known as the urachus and a remnant of this structure urachus can be found in adults. In infants and young ones the bladder is in the abdomen even when empty where as in case of adult males it is such that base of bladder lies between the rectum and the pubic symphysis and it is superior to the prostate whereas in case of the adult females in lies anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus.
disorders of urinary bladder
Like any other organ of the body that performs it normal functions in normal circumstances similarly urinary bladder works perfect under optimum conditions or conditions that are near to optimum. But some conditions such as fluctuations of certain levels factors or some disorders can interfere with the normal working of the urinary bladder and as this organ is a part of urinary system through which our body excretes out waste and if in a case when waste are not removed from the body it can cause pretty serious damages in the body.
