Why is it that when my bladder gets full the feeling of needing to pee gets progressively and consistently stronger until it happens involuntarily.
But when you need to poop, if I wait for ten minutes or so, the signal/urge to poop will go away for like an hour and then come back?
In: Biology
The bladder has a more definite capacity, meaning it can only stretch so far. In the bowel, signals fire as the feces move closer to the exit point. These signals are telling you “hey, it’s ready” more than “it’s full”.
