He had prepared the bladder of a young seal which had drifted ashore dead.
Make a little hole in this bit of bladder with a pin, leaving it in the hole to keep it stopped.
If the vapours are more acrid, or more spirituous, recourse may be had to slips of bladder long steeped in water, which containing a sort of natural glue, close the junctures of the vessels very well.
The heavier part is the upper part, and that part is held in place partly by resting on the rectum behind, and the bladder in front.
As this bladder occupies more than half the size of the fish, it is probable that it contributes to its lightness.
Full of this idea, I was surprised at finding in the air-bladder of the flying-fish only 0.
I was afraid he would give up whipping me when he saw me cry, and I wanted the bladder experiment to go on, so I looked kind of hard, as if I was defying him to do his worst, and then he took me by the neck and laid me across a trunk.
But he went out feeling mighty bad, and then I got up and pulled the bladder out of my pants, and Ma and the doc.
I knowed when the barrel stave hit the bladder it would explode.
I was such a little un, soft as one of our bladder buoys, you see, and I never knowed anything about it.
The bladder originates from the hindmost and lowest part of the allantoic pedicle (urachus), which enlarges in spindle shape before the entry into the cloaca.
The real bladder of the vertebrate certainly made its first appearance among the Dipneusts (in Lepidosiren), and has been transmitted from them to the Amphibia, and from these to the Amniotes.
This was formed directly from the floating-bladder inherited from the fishes.
The air also escapes sometimes from the alimentary canal, through an air-duct that connects the floating bladder with the pharynx, and is ejected by the mouth.
In these the floating bladderhas turned into lungs, and the air-passage into a trachea.
This hydrostatic apparatus begins in the Dipneusts to change into a respiratory organ; the blood-vessels in the wall of the bladder now no longer merely secrete air themselves, but also take in fresh air through the air-duct.
When it wishes to rise again, the bladder is expanded by relaxing the pressure.
At first this bladderhas no respiratory function, but merely acts as hydrostatic apparatus for the purpose of increasing or lessening the specific gravity of the body.
However, the human lungs, and those of all air-breathing Vertebrates, develop from the same simple vesicular appendage of the head-gut that becomes the floatingbladder in the fishes.
It still entirely resembles the floating bladder of the fishes.
There the primitive urine accumulates, and thus the allantois acts asbladder or urinary sac in the embryos of man and the other Amniotes.
But the long stalk or pedicle of the allantois remains, and forms with its upper part the middle vesico-umbilical ligament, a rudimentary organ that goes in the shape of a solid string from the vertex of the bladder to the navel.
The false bladder of the fishes is a mesodermic product of the nephroducts; the truebladder of the Dipneusts, Amphibia, and Amniotes is an entodermic blind sac of the rectum.
The Greek name cystópteris means bladder fern, so called in allusion to the hood-shaped indusium.
In outline the fragile bladder fern suggests the blunt-lobed Woodsia, but in the latter the pinnæ and pinnules are usually broader and blunter, and its indusium splits into jagged lobes.
The bladder fern is propagated in part from its bulblets, while the walking leaf bends over to the earth and roots at the tip.
It is one of our most graceful and delicate species, its long-tapering outline suggesting the bulblet bladder fern.
We may drape our homes by the yard," says Woolson, "with the most graceful and filmy of our common ferns, the bladder fern.
The bladder ferns are a dainty, rock-loving family partial to a limestone soil.
Hernia in which the urinary bladder protrudes; vesical hernia.
A sort of Russian isinglass, made from the airbladder of the sturgeon, and used in clarifying wine.
This bladderworm has on its surface numerous small heads, each of which, when swallowed by a dog, becomes a mature tapeworm in the dog's intestine.
The use of hot fomentations over the kidneys and bladder will often hasten the evacuation of urine if it has been unduly delayed.
Owing to the copious secretion of urine which is so common at this time, painful and injurious distention of the bladder may result.
The vagina lies in relation with the bladder and the urethra in front, and with the rectum behind.
During the entire lying-in the bladder should be emptied every six hours.
The excretory duct from thebladder for the escape of the urine.
It was only the loss of control over the bladderthat drove her to seek a physician's advice.
During the first two months of the pregnancy there is a flattening of the abdominal surface, due to the descent of the uterus into the pelvic cavity, thus slightly dragging the bladder downward and drawing the umbilicus inward.
And persistently allowing the bladder to become overfull, and failure to have a daily evacuation of the bowels, are prolific sources of displacements of the womb.
Other symptoms are frequent desire to empty the bladder and bowels, and a sensation of shivering.
In the fourth month, when the uterus ascends into the abdominal cavity, these bladder symptoms subside, until the very close of the pregnancy, when by the descent of the now greatly enlarged uterus there may be even incontinence of urine.
Functional disturbances of the bladder are quite often noticeable in the early part of the pregnancy.
The female bladder is relatively broad and capacious, and is also highly distensible.
The bladder acts as a reservoir for the urine, and should be emptied at least three or four times a day.
This pressure lasts only the first two or three months, because after that the growing womb lifts itself out of the pelvis, rising into the abdominal cavity; it is no longer anteverted and the pressure on the bladder is relieved.
When the woman is lying down the pressure on the bladder is relieved, and she does not have to urinate frequently.
The uterus is situated in the center of the pelvis, between the bladderand the rectum.

Rabi Moses, an Egyptian, only says, that some pretend this stone is formed in the angles of the eyes, and others in the gall-bladder of the eastern sheep.
This is not accomplished quickly, but only after sufficient time for the air in the bladder to become adjusted to the increase or decrease in external pressure that has taken place.
Soerensen (1895) held that there is but little evidence for attributing to the air-bladder the function of a lung.
The opinion seems to have been tacitly entertained by physiologists that this employment of the air-bladder by the Dipnoans as a lung is a secondary adaptation, a side issue from its original purpose.
The dorsal position of the bladder and its duct would be a difficulty in this inquiry, but for the fact that the duct is occasionally ventral.
This will serve to help us to understand the swim-bladder and the way the fish came to acquire it as a substitute for a lung.
The air-bladder is double, not cellular, with a large air-duct joining the ventral surface of the oesophagus.
He proved by ingenious experiments that many of the prevailing ideas about the action of the air-bladder were erroneous, and that this organ serves to equilibrate the body of the fish with the water at any level.
The development of a typical fish mouth is the next step in evolution, and with its appearance we note the decline of the air-bladder in size and function.
Soerensen tersely contrasts the views of Hasse and Sagemehl by saying that 'Hasse considers the air-bladder with the Weberian mechanism as a manometer; Sagemehl regards it as a barometer.
The gas within the air-bladder must be in most cases secreted from the blood-vessels.
He also believed that certain species produced a noise by forcing the gas from the air-bladder through a pneumatic duct.
He wrote a commentary on Rhazes and some notes of his on stone in the kidney and bladder show how careful an observer he was.
He suggests that stone in the bladder should first be treated by internal remedies; but in severe cases advises extraction.
Ptosis, strabismus, paralysis of the bladderand rectum, of the muscles of deglutition, and even general paralysis, have been observed.
This is a condition which is very apt to be overlooked, and I have known paralysis of the bladder to result in consequence of this neglect, and to continue sometimes after convalescence has been established.
At all stages of the disease the gall-bladder is usually found full of bile, which is apt to be dark during the collapse and more watery after reaction has commenced.
Important articles will also be found on Tracheotomy, the Diseases of the Rectum and the Anus, and those of the Bladder and the male sexual organs.
The microscope shows general hypertrophy of the gall-bladder and hypertrophy of its papillæ.
The bladder and rectum are rarely affected, except in cases where the typhoid state with tendency to coma is present.
The headache which is sometimes a distressing symptom in the beginning of the disease is usually relieved by the application to the head of cloths constantly wet with ice-water or by that of a bladder filled with ice and lard.
They are distinguished from solid tumors by their emitting a tympanitic sound upon percussion and by their changing position in consequence of an accumulation of urine in the bladder or of feces or gases in the bowels.
Cold is best applied to the head in the form of pounded ice enclosed in a bladder or rubber bag; but cold affusions are also very valuable, especially for children.
The gall-bladder usually contains a pale watery liquid of a less density than bile.
The same holds good of the bladder and intestines.
It frequently occurs that patients are unable to void the bladder in such positions.
In this case there were also ecchymoses of the bladder and of the pelvis of the kidneys, with intense congestion and numerous small hemorrhagic infarctions of the kidneys.
This treatment also cures the swelling of the bladder which often accompanies restriction of urine.
It should be remembered that the cold is the healing power, bracing the bladder and all its muscles and vessels.
While the patient lies on this, cold towels (see Towels, Cold Wet) should be changed over the bladder in front.
In this case the protruding bladder contains urine; this can never be the case in a real eversion, in which the inner surface of the bladderand the openings of the ureters are both exposed outside the vulva.
A genuine eversion of the bladderis almost unknown in the cow, owing to the extreme narrowness of its mouth.
The allantois is composed of two layers, which form a closed sac in connection with the urachus, or the tube which extends from the fetal bladder through the umbilical cord.
In all cases of delayed or tardy parturition the evacuation of rectum and bladder is important, and it is no less so in all difficult parturitions.
In this case the urine dribbles away constantly, and the oiled hand in the vagina or rectum will feel the half-filled and flaccid bladderbeneath and may easily empty it by pressure.
If the oiled hand is introduced into the rectum or vagina in the early stages of the affection, the bladder may be felt beneath partially filled, but not overdistended with liquid, and its neck or mouth firm and rigid.
Myomas are found in the uterus, vagina, stomach, intestines, gullet, andbladder of a bovine animal.
Before rupture takes place the distended bladder may press on the rectum and obstruct the passage of the bowel dejections.
If the animal during life has not been observed to pass urine colored with blood or red water, the bladder should be opened.
There may, however, be a number of small calculi; indeed, they are sometimes so small and numerous as to form a small, pulpy magma by which the bladder is considerably distended.
Stone in the bladder may be of any size, but in the ox does not usually exceed half an inch in diameter.
Stone in the bladder is fortunately rare in the cow, but when present it should be removed to obviate crushing and perhaps perforation of the organ during calving.
In the Mudfishes, however, the air-bladder becomes divided externally into two sacs, whilst internally each division exhibits a cellular structure resembling that seen in the lungs of higher animals.
Then also, this elaborate air-bladder communicates with the mouth and throat by a tube, which corresponds to a windpipe.
For instance, a swim-bladder has apparently been converted into an air-breathing lung.
