Labels: text | screenshot | font OCR: BLADDER Muscular bag that stores urine after it has been produced by the kidneys, and prior to its release from the body. The bladder receives urine from the kidneys along two tubes called ureters. As the bladder fills, the cat feels the need to empty it, which it does voluntarily by relaxing a ringshaped muscle, allowing urine to flow out of the body along the urethra.
