Artwork of section through the female bladder
Female bladder. Artwork showing a section through the female urinary system. The bladder is seen as a pink sac at centre. This is a hollow organ that holds urine. Two tubes (ureters) from upper image lead urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Yellow drops of urine are seen emerging from the trigone, the triangular space at the base of the bladder (lower centre). At the base of the bladder, the narrow urethra emerges, a tube that carries urine to the exterior opening. Just above the exterior opening, pink muscles of the urethral sphincter are seen. This muscle relaxes or contracts to control the flow of urine out of the bladder

Bladder Sphincter Ureter Urethra Urinary Urinary System
EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a detailed section through the female bladder, offering a fascinating glimpse into the intricate workings of the urinary system. At its core lies the pink sac-like structure, known as the bladder, which serves as a reservoir for urine. The upper part of this masterpiece reveals two slender tubes called ureters that transport urine from the kidneys to be stored in the bladder. A mesmerizing sight unfolds at the base of the bladder where drops of yellow-hued urine emerge from an area known as the trigone - a triangular space with significant physiological importance. Just below this remarkable phenomenon, we witness the emergence of another vital component: the narrow urethra. This tube acts as a conduit for carrying urine outwards towards its final destination. Drawing our attention further upwards, we encounter delicate pink muscles belonging to none other than the urethral sphincter. These muscles play a crucial role in regulating and controlling urination by either relaxing or contracting accordingly. Through this awe-inspiring artwork, Science Photo Library invites us on an intimate journey inside one aspect of human anatomy - specifically focusing on female physiology. It is truly remarkable how such intricacy exists within our bodies and serves as yet another testament to nature's extraordinary design.
