Would damage to somatic motor neurons impair micturition?
Damage to somatic motor neurons would not impair micturition, as micturition is primarily controlled by autonomic motor neurons. Somatic motor neurons control voluntary muscle movements, while autonomic motor neurons control involuntary functions like bladder contractions during micturition.
What is the act of voiding urine?
urgency
What is the term that means being unable to control excretory functions?
The term is "incontinence," which refers to the inability to control bowel or bladder movements. It can result from various medical conditions or temporary situations like pregnancy or surgery. Treatments can include medications, physical therapy, or surgery depending on the underlying cause.
What is the action involved in micturition?
Micturition is the process of expelling urine from the bladder through the urethra. It involves a series of coordinated actions, including the relaxation of the internal and external urethral sphincters and the contraction of the bladder's detrusor muscle. This process is typically initiated when the bladder fills and stretches, signaling the brain to trigger the urge to urinate. Voluntary control allows individuals to decide when to release urine, making it a complex interplay of involuntary and voluntary muscle actions.
What must be inhibited for micturition to occur?
For micturition to occur, the sympathetic nervous system's influence on the bladder must be inhibited, allowing the detrusor muscle to contract and the internal urethral sphincter to relax. Additionally, the external urethral sphincter, which is under voluntary control, must also be inhibited to permit the flow of urine. This coordinated action ensures that urine is expelled from the bladder effectively.
What level of the spinal cord is damaged to cause urinary incontinence?
Parasympathetic nerves from the S2, S3 and S4 levels of your spinal cord cause the upper part of your bladder to contract and your bladder neck to relax, assisting in the process of micturition (urination). If these are damaged you will have bladder control problems.
What does a voluntary muscle do for the muscular system?
Voluntary means you have voluntary control, while the involuntary you do not have voluntary control of them.
