When empty, the bladder liesdeeply in the pelvis, and in a vertical antero-posterior section pre-sents a triangular appearance, being flattened above and below, having 6G2 THE IJRIXAEY BLADDER. its base turned backwards and somewhat downwards, whilst its apex isdirected forwards over the symphysis pubis. When moderately full, it1-3 still contained within the pelvic cavity, and has a rounded form (, a), but when completely distended, it rises above the brim of thepelvis, and becomes egg-shaped ; its larger end, which is called thebase, or fundus, being directed backwards towards the rectum in themale and tha vagina in the female ; and its smaller end, or summit.
