	Bladder Cancer - Patient Guide - UrologyChannel
		Bladder cancer accounts for approximately 90% of cancers of the urinary tract (renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, urethra).
		Urine is produced by the kidneys, carried to the bladder by the ureters, and discharged from the bladder through the urethra.
		Bladder cancer usually originates in the bladder lining, which consists of a mucous layer of surface cells that expand and deflate (transitional epithelial cells), smooth muscle, and a fibrous layer.

		The peritoneum is carried by it from the vertex of the bladder on to the abdominal wall to form the middle umbilical fold.
		The vertex of the bladder is joined to the umbilicus by the remains of the urachus which forms the middle umbilical ligament, a fibromuscular cord, broad at its attachment to the bladder but narrowing as it ascends.
		The nerves of the bladder are (1) fine medullated fibers from the third and fourth sacral nerves, and (2) non-medullated fibers from the hypogastric plexus.

	MedFriendly.com: Urinary bladder
		At the lowest part of the urinary bladder (known as the neck) is an opening into a tube-shaped structure known as the urethra that drains urine from the body.
		The opening from the bladder to the urethra is normally kept tightly closed by a circular muscle known as a sphincter.
		The urinary bladder is also known as the bladder, vesica urinaria, vesica, urocyst, urocystis, and cystis urinaria.

	Bladder Control Problems
		Incontinence is uncontrollable leaking of urine from the bladder.

	Bladder Cancer
		The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower abdomen (pelvis).
		Bladder cancers are most likely to spread to neighboring organs and lymph nodes prior to spreading through the blood stream to the lungs, liver, bones, or other organs.
		The kidneys, the ureters (narrow tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder, and the urethra are lined with these cells.

	AllRefer Health - Urinary Tract Infection (Bladder Infection, Cystitis, UTI)
		A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection that can happen anywhere along the urinary tract -- the kidneys, the ureters (the tubes that take urine from each kidney to the bladder), the bladder, or the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder to the outside).
		Most commonly, infections affect the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra), which is called cystitis.

	Urinary
		Cats with urinary problems typically strain to urinate or make frequent trips to the litter box and get in the position but not much comes out; that's because the bladder is more or less empty, but the inflammation and irritation of the disease makes them think it's time to go.
		Thus, a urolith is a urinary tract stone that may be located in the kidneys (nephrolith; nephro is Greek for kidney), ureters (ureterolith), urinary bladder (urocystolith), or urethra (ure-throlith).
		Meanwhile, a few comments. Most urinary tract problems turn out to be short lived bladder infections that quickly respond to a short course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. Many of our seminar speakers on the subject go as far to say that many urinary tract "infections" are not infections at all and would heal without treatment.

	Overactive Bladder Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment by MedicineNet.com
		An overactive bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder.
		Overactive bladder is also referred to as urge incontinence and is a form of urinary incontinence (unintentional loss of urine).
		Bladder training teaches people to resist the urge to void and gradually expand the intervals between voiding.

	Bladder Urinary Obstructions \| Bladder Research
		Urinary obstruction is one of the most common causes of chronic and acute renal failure.
		The symptoms of urinary obstructions are not immediately visible and thereby the risk is greater for internal damage by the time a patient manifests the symptoms.
		Since the extent and time of the obstruction are the two main factors leading to renal dysfunction, it is important that these be diagnosed and treated as early as possible to prevent renal loss.

		Diverticula of the bladder may be congenital, but more often result from a portion of the mucosa pooching out ("pulsion diverticulum") between two strands of hypertrophied muscle in a person suffering from chronic obstruction.
		Carcinoma in situ of the bladder is defined to be anaplastic cells in a flat urothelium.
		Two types are distinguished by location, one arising from where the urachus used to be, high on the front of the bladder, the other arising around the trigone (usually) from "cystitis glandularis" (maybe) or "colonic metaplasia" (known to be premalignant).

	Urinary Bladder Cancer in Dogs
		This cancer usually arises from the inside surface of the urinary bladder or urethra and less commonly from the muscular wall of the urinary tract.
		The cause of transitional cell carcinoma is unknown, but carcinogens, or cancer causing chemicals, that are excreted in the urine may cause the cells that line the bladder and urethra to become cancerous.
		Evaluation for cancer of the urinary bladder is warranted if you have an older dog and notice blood in the urine, increased frequency of urination, and straining to urinate that either does not respond to routine treatment with antibiotics or that resolves only to return after stopping antibiotic treatment.
