  2. Parasympathetic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasympathetic_nervous_system

    Stimulation of the parasympathetic will cause the detrusor muscle (urinary bladder wall) to contract and simultaneously relax the internal sphincter muscle between the bladder and the urethra, allowing the bladder to void. Also, parasympathetic stimulation of the internal anal sphincter will relax this muscle to allow defecation.

  3. Detrusor muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detrusor_muscle

    The bladder also contains β 3 adrenergic receptors, and pharmacological agonists of this receptor are used to treat overactive bladder. The mucosa of the urinary bladder may herniate through the detrusor muscle. [6] This is most often an acquired condition due to high pressure in the urinary bladder, damage, or existing connective tissue ...

  4. Internal urethral sphincter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_urethral_sphincter

    It is located at the junction of the urethra with the urinary bladder and is continuous with the detrusor muscle, [1] [2] but anatomically and functionally fully independent from it. [3] It is composed of smooth muscle, so it is under the control of the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system.

  5. Urethral sphincters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urethral_sphincters

    The urethral sphincters are two muscles used to control the exit of urine in the urinary bladder through the urethra. The two muscles are either the male or female external urethral sphincter and the internal urethral sphincter. When either of these muscles contracts, the urethra is sealed shut.

  6. Onuf's nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onuf's_nucleus

    The parasympathetic nerve supply comes from the parasympathetic preganglionic neurons in the sacral spinal cord and also terminates in the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers. Finally the somatic nerve supply arises from the urethral sphincter motor neurons in the ventral horn of the sacral spinal cord; better known as Onuf's nucleus.

  7. Pelvic splanchnic nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_splanchnic_nerves

    The pelvic splanchnic nerves are featured as a key plot point in "Parasites Lost", a 2001 episode of the American animated TV comedy Futurama; when protagonist Philip J. Fry is infected with parasitic worms, the rest of the crew use micro-droids to enter his body with the intention of tickling the pelvic splanchnic ganglion to trigger a convulsive bowel movement that they believe will expel ...

  8. Bladder sphincter dyssynergia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder_sphincter_dyssynergia

    Bladder sphincter dyssynergia (also known as detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) (the ICS standard terminology agreed 1998) [1] and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO)) is a consequence of a neurological pathology such as spinal injury [2] or multiple sclerosis [3] which disrupts central nervous system regulation of the micturition (urination) reflex resulting in dyscoordination of the ...

  9. Autonomic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system

    Autonomic nervous system, showing splanchnic nerves in middle, and the vagus nerve as "X" in blue. The heart and organs below in list to right are regarded as viscera. The autonomic nervous system has been classically divided into the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system only (i.e., exclusively motor).
