| 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) |
| mucosa of urinary bladder | The inner coat of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica mucosa vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular coat of urinary bladder | Muscular layer of the wall of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica muscularis vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |

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) |
| neck of urinary bladder | The lowest part of the bladder formed by the junction of the fundus and the inferolateral surfaces. Synonym: cervix vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress urinary incontinence | Leakage of urine as a result of coughing, straining, or some sudden voluntary movement, due to weakness of the fascia muscles and at the neck of the bladder. Synonym: urinary exertional incontinence. (05 Mar 2000) |
