What is emptying the bladder controlled by?

The micturition reflex tells you when you need to empty your bladder. This happens on average four to eight times a day. The reflex is controlled by your central nervous system. When your bladder is about half full, the stretch receptors in the walls of your bladder become active and send signals along your pelvic nerves to your spinal cord. A reflex signal is sent back to your bladder, which makes the detrusor muscle in the bladder wall contract. The contraction increases the pressure in your bladder, and this is what makes you want to pass urine. Because the external sphincter is under voluntary control, you don't urinate until you decide to relax this muscle. simple answer would be this; Sphincter muscle that surrounds the urethra.

How does the nervous tissue cause action?

The stimulus sends a signal to the sensory neurons, the sensory neuron brings it to the spinal cord or brain as the interneuron continues bringing the message. When it reaches the brain, the brain makes a decision, and sends it back down the spinal cord with the interneuron and passes the decision to a motor neuron. The motor neuron carries the decision to the designated muscle, and the muscle makes the move. Obviously all of this happens within a second. You wouldn't notice your reaction to the stimulus until it has happened since you react to stimulus very often. I'm sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I .
