Anatomically clueless? Get a first-class education at I Heart Guts. Browse the guts & glands archives to better understand your very own, hard-working bits and pieces:

“The bladder stores your pee until you’re ready to go! Most bladders hold approximately 300-400 milliliters of liquid, about the size of a can and a half of soda. Drink up! When you pee, your brain tells the muscles in your bladder to tighten and squeeze out the urine. In Japanese, the word for bladder, boukou, also means “violence.” Hmmm… Let the bladder take out the trash with a lovely golden shower!”

“We like to think of the Guts as what you might find inside a dissected Hello Kitty.”
