AI overview

The urinary bladder is a hollow organ that collects and stores urine produced by your kidneys until you're ready to urinate. It matters because it allows your body to regulate when and how often you need to eliminate waste, rather than doing so continuously throughout the day.

La vejiga urinaria es un órgano hueco músculo-membranoso que forma parte del tracto urinario y que recibe a la orina de los uréteres, la almacena y la expulsa a través de la uretra al exterior del cuerpo durante la micción. En griego, vejiga se escribe κύστις [cistos], por lo que todas las palabras que se refieren a ella comienzan con cist-, como por ejemplo cistitis, cistotomía, cistoscopia, etc.
