Study Notes
Pressure in the Urinary Bladder
- The internal pressure in the bladder is caused by the accumulation of urine.
- The pressure-volume curve for the bladder shows that the bladder stretches as the volume increases.
- The typical maximum volume in the bladder before voiding is 500 ml for adults.
- At a pressure of approximately 30 cm H2O, the micturition reflex occurs.
