boys bladders hold 2 times more urien than girls
We'd rather want to know what urinary bladder is in man and in other mammals (vertebrates).
- I think it is on males and other mammals. Vedantlath 16:11, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
The article states the bladder holds up to 530 ml of urine; I have measured my own micturation volume as up to 600 mLs. Ppe42 05:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Nothing about bladder rupture, or trauma? Rosier 19:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Adult Human Urinary Bladder Volume
I have been doing some intensive googling in an attempt to get a better idea of what the measured volume of the human bladder actually is. There is quite a wide range of opinion. I now present my results in this notarised table:
| Source | Bladder Volume Statement | Average Stated Bladder Volume |
|---|---|---|
| Hole, 1981 | "as much as 600 mL of urine" | 600 mL |
| Encyclopedia Americana, 2001 | "... completely filled, the bladder can hold approximately 17 to 18 ounces (500 to 530 ml)" | 515 mL |
| Magill's Medical Guide Volume III, 1998 | "A completely full bladder is capable of holding approximately 1 liter of fluid" | 1000 mL |
| Gray's Anatomy, 1901 | "... the ordinary amount which it contains is about a pint." (470 ml) | 470 mL |
| Britannica, 1985 | "[the urge to urinate] can be voluntarily overridden until the content reaches 600 - 800 ml" | 700 mL |
| Youngerman-Cole, 2006 | "The maximum amount of liquid your bladder can hold is ... 400 mL (14 fl oz) to 500 mL (17 fl oz)" | 450 mL |
| Dickinson, 2006 | "The normal adult bladder should hold between 300 and 600 ml" | 450 mL |
| Tong, 2005 | "the average voided volume for the 20 [elderly male] participants was 532 ± 109 ml" | 532 mL |
| Howison, 2001 | "[urine volume] was measured and found to be between 500 and 600 mLs" | 550 mL |
I'd like to get other editors opinions on whether such a table about the range of estimates of bladder size is interesting/encyclopedic enough to go on the page itself.
The table could also be expanded with the various statements of the volume of urine which causes desire to micturate.

[edit] New page title
Isn't the name "Bladder (kidney)" extremely inappropriate as this organ is not part of the kidney? — The Storm Surfer 04:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
- Here's a fun fact: A healthy bladder can hold up to two cups of urine for two to five hours.
- There is no trivia section. This is one of the most popular organs. I think it should have a trivia page.

[edit] Another important issue
Has nobody noticed that female bladder seems to be separated from rectum and uterus (implying that the bladder is situated inbetween those two organs), while in reality uterus is the organ situated between the other two organs? This can even be derived from the names of the reccessi (rectouterine and vesicoterine). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.40.5.245 (talk) 17:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
