| antibody-coated bacteria test, urinary | Fluorescent antibody technique for visualizing antibody-bacteria complexes in urine. The presence or absence of antibody-coated bacteria in urine correlates with localization of urinary tract infection in the kidney or bladder, respectively. (12 Dec 1998) |

| blood, urinary | Medically called haematuria, blood in the urine can be microscopic or gross. Evaluating haematuria requires consideration of the entire urinary tract. Tests used for the diagnosis of haematuria include the intravenous pyelogram (IVP), cystoscopy, and urine cytology. Management of haematuria depends upon the underlying cause. (12 Dec 1998) |
| body of urinary bladder | The portion of the bladder between the apex and fundus. Synonym: corpus vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reproductive and urinary physiology | Physiology of the human and animal body, male or female, in the reproductive process and the physiology of the urinary tract. (12 Dec 1998) |

| muscular coat of urinary bladder | Muscular layer of the wall of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica muscularis vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pregnancy danger from urinary tract infection | A pregnant woman who develops a uti should be treated promptly to avoid premature delivery of her baby and other risks such as high blood pressure. Some antibiotics are not safe to take during pregnancy.

| serosa of urinary bladder | Serous coat of the urinary bladder; the visceral peritoneum covering the roof and lateral walls of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica serosa vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphincter muscle of urinary bladder | The complete collar of smooth muscle cells of the neck of the urinary bladder which extend distally to surround the preprostatic sportion of the male urethra. There is not a comparable structure in the neck of the femoral bladder; the internal urethral sphincter may exist to prevent reflux of semen into bladder. Synonym: annulus urethralis, internal urethral sphincter, musculus sphincter vesicae, preprostate urethral sphincter, proximal urethral sphincter, sphincter muscle of urinary bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
