bladder

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. "

a: Bladder ~
b: a collapsible storage bag
What: "The bladder is like a collapsible storage bag made of muscular elastic tissue. Nerves along the spine transmit messages back and forth between the brain and the bladder. If the bladder muscle is trained to stay strong, and the brain and bladder are able to exchange messages properly, most wetting problems can be solved. "

a: Bladder ~
b: an upside down fishbowl
What: "The prostate is usually located between the bladder and the urethra. I often describe the relationship to patients in the following manner: the bladder is like an upside down fishbowl which is connected to a donut (the prostate) which is subsequently connected to a straw (the urethra). Urine leaving the bladder goes through the donut hole of the prostate and out the urethra. "

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. "
