Onsagittal section the bladder with the urethra forms a Y-shaped figure, theangle of the Y corresponding to the concavity named. This has beencalled a diastolic empty bladder, in distinction to the former or systolicone. When moderately distended it has various forms, according to thecondition of the surrounding viscera—rounded, flattened, or transversely THE URINARY BLADDER. 15 oval—but it still lies within the pelvic cavity. If completely distendedit is oval, and its summit lies above the pelvis and against the anteriorabdominal wall. The anterior wall is flattened, resting against the sym-physis, while the convexity of the posterior wall is increased so that it maylie higher than the apex, which has curved more and more forward.When fully distended the bladder is often flattened from above down-

Whencompletely distended the bladder does not lie in the median line, butdeviates slightly to the right, due partly to the rectum on the left side,and partly to the greater size of the right half of the bladder. The distended bladder may even reach as high as the diaphragm. 16 AXATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GENITO-URINARY ORGANS.
