What is the function of the urinary bladder?

Explanation:
The urinary bladder stores urine. After urine is formed in the kidneys, it travels down the ureters and collects in the bladder, which expands as it fills. It stays there until you void, thanks to a muscular wall (detrusor) and sphincters that regulate release. This storage role is distinct from the kidneys’ jobs of filtering blood and producing urine, and it isn’t part of the digestive system.
