FEATURED BOOKS ON THE URINARY BLADDER FROM BARNES & NOBLE.COM?
Ureteropyosis
The buildup of pus in the ureter. Pus is a yellow or green creamy substance sometimes found at the site of infections. 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. Ureteropyosis comes from the Greek word “oureter” meaning “urinary canal,” and the Greek word "pyosis" meaning "suppuration." Put the words together and you have “urinary canal suppuration.” Suppuration is the formation of pus.
