When a Body is Dehydrated, Water in the Urinary Bladder

Question

When a body is dehydrated, water in the urinary bladder
A) can be returned to the circulation directly.
B) can be returned to the circulation after moving back into the kidneys.
C) will still be expelled from the body in the urine.

Accepted Answer

When a body is dehydrated, the urinary bladder will still expel water in the form of urine. The body needs to eliminate excess water, electrolytes, and waste products from the system, and one of the ways to do so is through urine. Reabsorption of water from the urinary bladder into circulation is not a common process and does not occur in dehydration.
