It feels like you have to urinate. If the micturition reflex is blocked, you don't have to go.
An efferent somatic (pudendal nerve) output to the external sphincter which relaxes the external sphincter and causes the urine to flow through the urethra is the effector part of the reflex arc.
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.
The micturition reflex is an automatic process where the bladder expels urine when it reaches a certain level of fullness, controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Conscious thought can influence urination by allowing an individual to voluntarily start or stop the process, giving them some control over when and where they urinate.
I think it means that you retain fluid after you pee. I had a Ultra sound and was told there was a 'large post-micturition residual (vol125ml) Looked up micturition and it means pass urine. Hope this helped
Babies have a natural reflex called the "glottal closure reflex" that causes them to hold their breath when they feel a sudden burst of air on their face. This reflex helps protect their airway and prevent them from inhaling any foreign particles.
Urination erection?
stretch receptors
The parasympathetic nervous system allows the act of micturition. The sympathetic nervous system inhibits it.
sacral segments of the spinal cord
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.
An efferent somatic (pudendal nerve) output to the external sphincter which relaxes the external sphincter and causes the urine to flow through the urethra is the effector part of the reflex arc.
micturition or micturate
It could be repeated triggering of the gag reflex.
Yes, micturition is another word for urination.
Breath in and out very slow and try to relax your gag reflex.
I believe it is called "micturition". -JS yes it is micturition..... double checked in medical dictionary thanks -JS from mzippa
