Definition
The bladder is composed of the four coats: serous, muscular, submucous, and mucous coats.
The serous coat (tunica serosa) is a partial one, and is derived from the peritoneum. It invests the superior surface and the upper parts of the lateral surfaces, and is reflected from these on to the abdominal and pelvic walls.
