Micturation is what we commonally call urination. There are various stretch activated receptors within the bladder and in the adjoining sphincter that participate in the reflex. The bladder has to disallow backflow and coordinate the contraction of the bladder with the relaxation of the terminal sphincter. This is done through both voluntary control of the musculature as well via sympathetic and parasympathetic reflexes.

Information from balance receptors goes directly to the?
Information from balance receptors goes directly to the brain stem reflex centers.
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
The sensory receptors of a withdrawal reflex are located in the?
Skin.
What triggers the micturition reflex in the walls of the bladder?
stretch receptors
Which is the first structure stimulated in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptors.
What receptors are stimulated during urination?
Nerve receptors are stimulated during urination. This stimulation occurs when the walls of the bladder contract and the urination reflex is automatically activated.
What does the micturition reflex feel like?
It feels like you have to urinate. If the micturition reflex is blocked, you don't have to go.
What is another name for micturition reflex?
Urination erection?
What does the parasympathetic nervous system stimulate in the micturition reflex?
The parasympathetic nervous system allows the act of micturition. The sympathetic nervous system inhibits it.
What occurs when beta receptors are stimulated?
When beta receptors are stimulated, it decreases the heart rate to treat for low blood pressure.
Is the micturition reflex center is located in the pons?
It is localted in the Sacral plexus
How do autonomic nervous system reflex arcs work?
ANS reflex arcs are stimulated by input from sensory or visceral receptors. The signals are processed in the hypothalamus (or regions of the spinal cord) and target effector control is then regulated via myelinated preganglionic neurons
What receptors are stimulated when their hairs are bent?
Mechanoreceptors
Receptors stimulated by changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors
The micturition reflex center is located in the?
sacral segments of the spinal cord
