How much liquid does the human bladder hold?
Answer
If you were to ask most women, the answer would probably be β€œNot enough!” Seriously, the bladder in humans and other mammals is an extremely elastic and expandable muscular sac. The average adult can comfortably hold up to about one-third quart of urine. More urine causes the bladder to become distended and uncomfortable. Each individual is different, of course, so there are wide variations in urine capacity.
