The urethral sphincter is broken down into two separate muscles, the internal and external sphincter muscles of the urethra.
The internal muscle is located where the urethra joins the bladder. It is under involuntary control and works by balancing the sympathetic (keeping closed) and parasympathetic (opening) nervous systems.
The second muscle is located just after the prostate gland. It is under voluntary control and works by the somatic nervous system.
What else can I help you with?
Why doesn't semen enter the urinary bladder during ejaculation?
The smooth muscle sphincter at the base of the urinary bladder closes.
A urinary sphincter to control the flow of urine is located at each end of the urethra?
True. There is a external and internal sphincter
What muscle present at the tip of the urinary bladder that controls the urine?
bladder sphincter
Is the sphincter in the urinary system?
A sphincter is basically a ring shape of muscle usually at the end of a hollow organ in the body such as the bladder or encircling an opening from the body such as the anus. In its contracted state it will hold back the contents and when voluntarily relaxed itr will release them. The bladder (part of the urinary system) is controlled by a sphincter.
What is intrinsic sphincter deficiency?
Intrinsic sphincter deficiency is a condition where the normal function of the urinary sphincter muscles is impaired, leading to urinary incontinence. This can be caused by weakening or damage to the muscles and tissues supporting the urethra, often resulting from childbirth, aging, or pelvic surgery. Symptoms may include leaking urine with physical activities or urgency.
The bundles of interlaced muscular fibers in the wall of the urinary bladder comprise the?
The bundles of interlaced muscular fibers in the wall of the urinary bladder comprise the internal urethral sphincter. The contraction of the internal urethral sphincter prevent the bladder from emptying until the urinary pressure reaches a certain level.
What is artificial sphincter insertion?
Artificial sphincter insertion surgery is the implantation of an artificial valve in the genitourinary tract or in the anal canal to restore continence and psychological well being to individuals with urinary or anal sphincter insufficiency.
What does the urinary system control?
The Urinary System extracts waste from your body. The organs, tubes, muscles, and nerves that work together to create, store, and carry urine are the urinary system.

Where can a sphincter be found in the urinary system also what is its function?
A sphincter is a circular band of muscle tissue that, when contracted, cuts off the flow of material from one place to another. There are two urinary sphincters, one at the base of the bladder and one at the pelvic canal along the urethra. The purpose of both sphincters is to prevent urinary leakage.
How much Artificial urinary sphincter would cost?
Mine cost about 70000 almost 40000 for the apparatus.
What is the function of the Sphincter that controls the exit of the urine?
Mainly the urinary sphincters prevent the backflow of urine backwards into the bladder and the kidneys. Sphincters allow one-way flow and to prevent leakage (or in other words, prevent accidental urine loss).
Where is the internal urethral spinchter located?
The internal urethral sphincter is a smooth muscle located at the neck of the urinary bladder and surrounds the opening of the urethra. It helps in controlling the flow of urine from the bladder to the urethra.
