FEATURED BOOKS ON THE URINARY BLADDER FROM BARNES & NOBLE.COM?
Ureteroenteric
Pertaining to the ureter and intestine (the tube shaped structure that is part of the digestive tract). The ureters are two tube-shaped structures that bring urine to the urinary bladder from the kidneys. The kidneys are two organs located on each side of the spine, behind the stomach. The kidneys filter (remove) wastes from the blood. The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular organ in the body that collects and temporarily holds urine until it is ready to leave the body. Ureteroenteric comes from the Greek word “oureter” meaning “urinary canal,” and the Greek word "entera" meaning "bowels," and the Greek word “ikos” meaning “pertaining to.” Put the words together and you have “pertaining to urinary canal (and) bowels.”
