Explanation

The bladder is a part of the body that stores urine until it is ready to be released. It is like a balloon, located in the lower part of the abdomen, that fills up with urine produced by the kidneys. When it's full, it sends a signal to the brain that it's time to go to the bathroom. The bladder then contracts to push the urine out through a tube called the urethra.
