“he bladder, urethra and ureter

‘he bladder

he average capacity of the bladder is 400 mI. The bladder is lined with :ansitional epithelium. The involuntary muscle of its wall is arranged in 11 inner longitudinal layer, a middle circular layer and an outer longi. Idinallayer. The ureters open into the base of the bladder after running medially for bout I cm through the vesical wall. The urethra leaves the bladder in :o nt of the ureteric orifices; the triangular area lying between the ureteric rifices and the internal meatus is known as the trigone. At the internal leatus the middle layer of vesical muscle forms anterior and posterior lOpS round the neck of the bladder, some of the fibres of the loops being Dntinuous with the circular muscle of the urethra. The base of the bladder is related to the cervix, with only a thin layer f connective tissue intervening. Below it is separated from the anterior aginal wall by the pubocervical fascia, which stretches from the pubis to .le cervix.

‘he urethra

he female urethra is about 3.5 cm long, and it has a slight posterior ngulation at the junction of its lower and middle thirds. It is lined with :ansitional epithelium. The smooth muscle of its wall is arranged in outer mgitudinal and inner circular layers. As the urethra passes through the “0 layers of the urogenital diaphragm (triangular ligament) it is embraced y the striated fibres of the deep transverse perineal muscle (compressor rethrae), and some of the striated fibres form loops on the urethra, etween the muscular coat and the epithelium is a plexus of veins. There re a number of tubular mucous glands and, in the lower part, a number of rypts, which occasionally become infected.
