How does your urinary bladder store urine and then empty it when the time is right?

Explore the fascinating anatomy and physiology of the human urinary bladder in this premium 3D medical-science visualization.

Discover:
- The detrusor muscle and its role in bladder emptying.
- How bladder folds flatten as the bladder fills.
- How specialized umbrella cells help maintain the urothelial barrier.
- How the nervous system coordinates bladder storage and urination.
- How coordinated muscle activity helps release urine through the urethra.

The bladder is a remarkable organ that changes from a relaxed storage system into an active muscular pump.
