A normal bladder can hold upto two 2 cups of urine. This urine is then throws out through urethra during the time of urination.
This bladder is made up of different layers of cell. A layer of cells called the urothelial cells, or transitional cells. Below that is a thin layer of cells called the lamina propria, proceeded by a layer of muscles called muscularis propria.
The cancer in any of these layers of the bladder is called bladder cancer.
