A living organism is made up of cells that can replicate based on their DNA/RNA, which is the instructions used to perform the replication using the tools built into the cell structure.

Viruses are rogue instructions that repurpose an existing cell type to build something different.

A woman’s urinary anatomy differs quite a bit from a males. A woman’s bladder is proportional smaller compared to a male because it has to accommodate for the uterus. A woman’s urethra is also shorter in length so holding pee is less effective and accidental leaks can happen.

some viruses are DNA based, some are RNA based

No, they're not the same kind of tissue, but they can be interchanged, to a degree. For coronary artery bypass, the saphenous vein (a leg vein) is often used.

Arteries have thicker walls than veins, and a thicker layer of muscle inside them. Except for the pulmonary artery, arteries lack valves. Veins are thinner-walled, with a thinner muscle layer. They also have valves. These valves prevent blood from pooling and flowing backward (gravity and all that), and, because venous pressure is lower than arterial pressure, the valves "help" pump deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Edited to add that veins and arteries can also purposefully be connected together to create an arteriovenous fistula, for dialysis access. Arteiovenous fistulas can also occur naturally, as congenital defects.

So the answer to both of these is yes but no but kind of.

Your veins have valves in them to prevent blood from pooling backwards along your limbs and trunk due to gravity. Veins aren't driven by the beating of your heart, after all, and the blood is trying to go up against gravity; without the valves, you'd be in kind of a really bad spot.

You can technically use a vein graft to replace a stretch of artery in a pinch -- the valves won't hurt you too much -- but replacing a stretch of vein with an artery would be a majorly bad move.

Small area to work wit... there's a uterus pressing up behind it, with a rectum psuhing pushing against the back of the uterus. Needless to say, when there is a baby in there it sucks. And this is all worsened by a short urethra and weakened pelvic floor muscles following child birth. There is very little wiggle room, unlike with dudes who don't have an extra structure in there and a much longer urethra.

Are they essentially the same kind of tissue, the only difference being which direction blood is flowing? Could one theoretically be repurposed as the other if needed, for example?

The definition of "alive" is kinda fuzzy, but we're pretty sure that viruses aren't actually alive. It's probably easier to think of them like little machines that break into cells and convert them into virus factories. You can "kill" a virus by breaking it's outer shell, much like your phone would die if I snapped it's battery in half.

All cells (bacteria, as well as body cells) function from instructions from their DNA. The (master copy of) DNA gets copied to (working copies of) RNA (single strands of instructions) and then the cell's proteins execute the instructions.

Viruses are NOT alive because they do not have all of the internal processes and organelles that cells have. They just have RNA protected by a sheath. If a cell takes in a virus, the cell's instructions will get corrupted.

Arteries and veins are both blood vessels, and the difference depends on what they're doing.

"Arteries" are defined as blood vessels which carry blood away from the heart.

"Veins" are defined as blood vessels which return blood to the heart.

Keep that difference in mind, and you won't be thrown by things like the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood, but does so away from the heart.

Arteries take blood from the heart TO the organs, veins return blood from the organs to the heart. At the organ site, you have a capillary to spread the blood out so it's within reach of each cell.

Looking at it again, probably the GUI. Looks straight out of 1997. I am about to try it again though, given what you said about its speed.

I used Windows Photo Viewer (even on Windows 10) and tried probably a dozen different imagine viewers until I found ImageGlass. Modern GUI, highly customisable: https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass

Likewise, I went through about 20 (!) music players (foobar2000, mp3cube, MusicMonkey, etc.) until I found MusicBee, which is incredibly good for music listening and management: https://www.getmusicbee.com/

Oh interesting, I stand corrected!

As a woman who had fibroids and then a hysterectomy I can tell you that giving birth are not the only reasons for weak pelvic floor and poor bladder control. Obesity is a factor as well in bladder issues. Women have a lot going against them in that area.

Well, I mean, that is where I keep mine. Wtf are you doing?

I've known 3 separate early 20s, childless women who've pissed themselves laughing. There's more to it than kids weakening the plumbing.

There are two sphincters in the urethra one where the urethra leaves the bladder and one at the pelvic floor. The first one is under involuntary control the second one is voluntary control.

It is silly to say that men's pelvic floor isn't connected. However the pelvic floor does weaken after giving birth

But.. but... pee is stored in the balls

Agreed. Men can just open their zipper. For women (as many things pertaining to their bodies) it's more hassle so they need to think ahead. Could be why many women are better at this than men.

EDIT: Do women not have more hassle with peeing, monthly mensuration, risk of pregnancy, actual pregnancy, giving birth, breast feeding, menopause, … ? Also being the physically smaller and weaker sex tasked with child rearing would evolution of sex differences in the species not predict women to have better forward thinking? When you see /r/whatcouldgowrong videos of people doing dumb stuff what is the ratio of men vs. women being dumb in these videos? Who lives longer lives? How do you explain it? No possible connection women being women and men being men?
