What does Bladder really mean?

Alright, so, think of your bladder like a little storage tank inside your body. It's a part of your urinary system, which helps you get rid of waste from your body. When you eat and drink, your body takes in all the stuff it needs, but also creates waste that it doesn't need. That waste needs to come out, and that's where your bladder comes in.

Your bladder is where all the liquid waste from your body goes before you go to the bathroom. When it's full, it sends signals to your brain, letting you know that it's time to go pee. Then, when you go to the bathroom, the muscles in your bladder contract, squeezing the waste out of your body.

So, in simple terms, your bladder is like a little pouch inside your body that holds pee until it's time to let it out.

There's actually a couple of different definitions for the word "bladder." Besides being the little storage tank I just mentioned, it can also refer to the elastic organ that some animals use to store air or gas, kind of like a balloon. So, there's a couple different things that "bladder" can mean, depending on the context.

I hope that helps you understand what "bladder" means! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
