1. Comparative passive tension-active tension curves were constructed for urinary bladder body strips from hamster, rat, guinea-pig, rabbit and cat. 2. Equally sized strips from rabbit and cat bladders had a significantly greater mass and cross-sectional area than strips from other species. 3. There was a greater change in cross-sectional area of strips from rabbit and cat bladders with increasing length than in strips from other species. 4. Cat bladder strips developed a significantly greater absolute active tension than did strips from all other species at passive tensions greater than 5 g. 5. The length-tension relationships of the urinary bladder differs from skeletal or vascular smooth muscle in that there is no significant decrease in active tension at strip lengths greater than L0. 6. The ability of the urinary bladder to generate active tension at tissue lengths considerably greater than L0 is a prime importance in the physiological role of the urinary bladder to accommodate and store urine.
