16 Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About The Bladder And Pee

So, November has been set aside as Bladder Health Awareness month. Here is a short review of bladder anatomy and function as well as common problems that can happen. Your bladder is connected to your kidneys by two ureters.  It is a hollow organ designed to store urine.  It can hold between one and one-half and two cups of urine or around 400 ml to almost 500 ml.  The inside of the bladder is lined with a layer of transitional epithelial cells.
