The bladder is composed of bands of interlaced smooth muscle
(detrusor). The innervation of the body of the bladder is different
from that of the bladder neck. The body is rich in beta adrenergic
receptors. These receptors are stimulated by
the sympathetic component of the autonomic nervous system
(ANS). Beta stimulation, via fibers of the hypogastric nerve,
suppress contraction of the detrusor.
Conversely, parasympathetic stimulation, by fibers in the pelvic
nerve, cause the detrusor to contract. Sympathetic stimulation is
predominant during bladder filling, and
theparasympathetic causes emptying.
Two sphincters control the bladder outlet. The internal sphincter
is composed of smooth muscle like the detrusor and extends into
the bladder neck. Like the detrusor, the internal sphincter is
controlled by the ANS and is normally closed. The primary
receptors in the bladder neck are alphaadrenergic. Sympathetic stimulation of these alpha receptors, via
fibers in the hypogastric nerve, contributes to urinary continence.


The external sphincter is histologically different from the detrusor and internal
sphincter. It is striated muscle. Like skeletal muscle, it's under voluntary control. It
receives its innervation from the pudendal nerve, arising from the ventral horns of
the sacral cord. During micturition, supraspinal centers block stimulation by the
hypogastric and pudendal nerves. This relaxes the internal and external sphincters
and removes the sympathetic inhibition of theparasympathetic receptors. The
result is unobstructed passage of urine when the detrusor contracts.
The ureters pass between the layers of the detrusor and enter the bladder through
the trigone. The ureters propel urine into the bladder. The bladder passively
expands to accept urine. As the bladder expands and intravesicular pressure
increases, the ureters are compressed between the layers of muscle, creating a
valve mechanism. This valve mechanism limits the backflow of urine.


The normal adult bladder can hold about 500 cc of urine. After
emptying, the bladder may still retain about 50 cc residual
volume. At about 150 cc of volume, stretch receptors in the
detrusor begin signaling the CNS via afferent nerves; at 400 cc we
are "seeking" an appropriate toilet
Summary: Normally, we are able to control where and when we
void. This is largely because the cerebrum is able to suppress the
sacral micturition reflex. If the sacral reflex is unrestrained,
parasympathetic stimulation via the pelvic nerve causes detrusor
contraction. Detrusor contraction is suppressed
by alpha and beta sympathetic stimulation via the hypogastric
nerve. In response to afferent stimulation, the cerebrum becomes
aware of the need to void. If it is appropriate, the cerebrum relaxes
the external sphincter, blocks sympathetic inhibition, the bladder
contracts and urine is expelled
