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.

What are the receptors stimulated by hering breuer reflex?
The Hering-Breuerinflation reflex, named for Josef Breuer and EwaldHering, is a reflex triggered to prevent over-inflation of the lung
Is the micturition reflex center is located in the pons?
No, the micturition reflex center is located in the sacral region of the spinal cord, specifically at the level of the S2 to S4 segments. This center regulates the process of urination, including the contraction of the bladder and relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter.
What is the first event associated with a reflex?
The first event associated with a reflex is the stimulus, which activates sensory receptors in the body. These receptors then send a signal to the spinal cord, bypassing the brain to produce a quick response from motor neurons, resulting in the reflex action.
The sensory receptors of a withdrawal reflex are located in the?
The sensory receptors of a withdrawal reflex are located in the skin and muscles of the body. These receptors detect a potentially damaging stimulus and send signals to the spinal cord to trigger a reflexive response, such as pulling your hand away from a hot surface.
Information from balance receptors goes directly to the?
Information from balance receptors goes directly to the brain stem reflex centers.
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 is another name for micturition reflex?
Urination erection?
What does the micturition reflex feel like?
The micturition reflex is the body's automatic response to the feeling of a full bladder and typically manifests as the urge to urinate. This sensation can vary in intensity from mild discomfort to strong urgency depending on the individual and the level of bladder fullness.
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.
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
Receptors stimulated by changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors
What receptors are stimulated when their hairs are bent?
Mechanoreceptors
What are two types of receptors involved in the cough reflex?
Two types of receptors involved in the cough reflex include irritant receptors, which are sensitive to noxious stimuli in the airways, and stretch receptors, which respond to mechanical distortion of the airways. Activation of these receptors triggers the cough reflex to protect the respiratory tract.
The micturition reflex center is located in the?
sacral segments of the spinal cord
A protective reflex stimulated by foreign material in the trachea or bronchi is the?
This is called the gagging or the coughing reflex
