micturition Flashcards
which three nerves are involved in micturition
hypogastric
pelvic
pudendal
what receptors are on the detrusor
M3
receptors on the external urethral sphincter
nicotinic
receptors on the IUS
A1
m3
PARASYMPATHETIC effect
ach is released on m3 receptors
causes contraction of detrusor
relaxation of internal sphincter
EMPTYING
SYMPATHETIC effect
noradrenaline released onto m3 and A1 receptors
relaxes the detrusor muscle
contraction of ius
RETENTION
WHAT is the parasympathetic system goal
voiding
what is the sympathetic systems goal
retention
retention relfex involves ?
sensory pelvic nerve sends slow impulses to spinal cord as not much stretching
this stimulates the hypogastric nerve
noradrenaline released onto a1 receptors
IUS contracts
relaxation of detrusor
pudendal nerve causes contraction of EUS
VOIDING REFLEX INVOLVES ?
bladder is stretched out increases pelvic nerve firing inhibition of hypogastric - contraction of detrusor relaxation of IUS with hypogastric with pudendal - relaxation of EUS
