pg 403
Micturition = Urination
• Contraction of the detrusor muscle to raise intraabdominal pressure

the pons

– Stimulate detrusor muscle to contract (involuntary)
– Internal urinary sphincter opens (also inhibits
sympathetic pathways that would prevent urination)
Micturition = Urination

cortex) can inhibit urination

urinary sphincter closed
