The opening of the bladder, known as the internal urethral sphincter, is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Specifically, sympathetic nerves control its contraction, preventing urine from leaking, while parasympathetic nerves facilitate its relaxation during urination. Additionally, the external urethral sphincter, which is under voluntary control, allows for conscious regulation of urine flow.
