14. The urinary bladder is best described as A. a tube that connects the kidney to the renal pelvis.
B. an elastic sac of muscles that holds urine until it is voided.
C. a tube that connects to the blood vessels.
D. a structure that is not present in humans.

The urinary bladder is best described as an elastic sac of muscles that holds urine until it is voided (option B).

Explanation:

The urinary bladder is the organ of the urinary system that receives urine from the kidneys and stores it until it is expelled through the urethra. It is a hollow organ whose muscular structure is elastic, allowing it a certain range of stretching in order to contain liquids.

Apart from the muscular layer, the urinary bladder has an inner layer, or mucosa, and a serous surface layer.

The other options are not correct because the urinary bladder:

    A. It is not a tube that connects the kidney to the renal pelvis.

    C. It is not a tube that connects to the blood vessels.

    D. It is present in humans.

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
