a: Bladder ~
b: a bag that has two functions

What: " Normally, the bladder is like a bag that has two functions. One is to store urine. The second is to contract and squeeze out the urine when you are ready to empty the bladder. The sphincter muscle is responsible for maintaining the closure of the urethra and surrounds the exit to the bladder at its connection with the urethra. The urethra is the tube that passes through the prostate and then through the penis where it ultimately exits near the tip at the meatus. "

The Organs Run Stuff......

a: Gallbladder ~
b: the second-in-command

What: "On the mental/emotional level, the Liver must make plans and execute them. The Gallbladder is like the second-in-command, and has the role of decision-maker. So people who just can't make up their mind or, conversely, rush headlong into inappropriate decisions, are often displaying imbalances in these energies. Both organs have direct connections to the eyes - you need to be able to see things clearly to make good plans and take sound decisions. "
