I don’t know how to **properly** search this up on Google (i know how to type into the search bar and press enter and all that) so the answers I’ve been getting are about stomach acid dilution. My question is how does what we drink end up in our bladders if it goes into our stomachs first? Like, does stomach acid come into the mix and if not, how does our body know not to put stomach acid in our bladders? What path does it follow once it enters the stomach? I only know of the solids exit. How is the water separated from the acid if it is? If you drank enough would you just have an increased amount of acid? I don’t know anything about drinking except it goes into our stomachs, and somehow exits the bladder somewhere between clear or dark yellow depending on how healthy you’ve been with your choices of beverages.
Edit: clarification
In: Biology
Partially liquefied stomach contents enter the intestines where the acid is neutralized. Water and other materials are absorbed from the intestines and go into our blood. Water moves freely among blood, cells, and other bodily compartments. Urine (which is mostly water) comes from the blood.
