| ileal bladder | An isolated segment of ileum serving as a replacement for another tubular organ; specifically, the use as a urinary conduit into which ureters can be implanted following total cystectomy or other loss of normal bladder function requiring supravesical diversion. Synonym: ileal bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trabeculated bladder | Characterised by thick wall and hypertrophied muscle bundles. Typically seen in instances of long-standing obstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigone of bladder | A triangular smooth area at the base of the bladder between the openings of the two ureters and that of the urethra. Synonym: trigonum vesicae, Lieutaud's body, Lieutaud's triangle, Lieutaud's trigone, vesical triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| jackstone bladder calculus | <radiology> Spiculated calculus in urinary bladder, calcium oxalate monohydrate (12 Dec 1998) |
| exstrophy of the bladder | A congenital gap in the anterior wall of the bladder and the abdominal wall in front of it, the posterior wall of the bladder being exposed. Synonym: ectopia vesicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uninhibited neurogenic bladder | A condition, either congenital or acquired, of abnormal bladder function whereby normal inhibitory control of detrusor function by the central nervous system is impaired or underdeveloped, resulting in precipitant or uncontrolled micturition and/or anuresis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unstable bladder | Characterised by uninhibited detrusor contractions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urinary bladder | A musculomembranous elastic bag serving as a storage place for the urine. Synonym: vesica urinaria, cystis urinaria, urocyst, urocystis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uvula of bladder | A slight projection into the cavity of the bladder, usually more prominent in old men, just behind the urethral opening, marking the location of the middle lobe of the prostate. Synonym: uvula vesicae, Lieutaud's uvula. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acid-base balance | The normal balance between acid and base in the blood plasma, expressed in the hydrogen ion concentration or pH, resulting from the relative amounts of acidic and basic materials ingested and produced by body metabolism, compared to the relative amounts of acidic and basic materials excreted from the body and consumed by body metabolism; the normal state of acid-base balance is not one of neutrality, with equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, but a more alkaline state with a certain excess of hydroxyl ions. Synonym: acid-base equilibrium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid-base equilibrium | A condition in which the net rate of acid or alkali production by the body is balanced by the net rate of acid or alkali excretion from the body, resulting in a stable concentration of hydrogen ions in the body fluids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid-base imbalance | Disturbances in the acid-base equilibrium of the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
