•
Empty bladder lies almost entirely in the pelvic minor, superior
to the pelvic floor and posterior to the pubic symphysis
•
As the bladder fills, it moves into the pelvic major, a very full
bladder can ascend to the level of the umbilicus
•
The posteroinferior surface is called the fundus and is in close
proximity to the anterior wall of the vagina in females and to
the rectum in males
