Inner mucosal lining of transitional epithelial cells in the bladder is a
barrier to prevent the passage of water between the bladder contents & blood
Bladder structure
-outer serosal layer
-detrusor muscle
-submucosal layer of loss connective tissue
-inner mucosal lining of transitional epithelial cells
Motor Control of bladder function

Detrusor Muscle
Muscle of micturition
PNS-Contracts >> urine expelled from bladder
SNS relaxes
Motor Control of Bladder Function

Abdominal Muscles
Contraction >> increase in abdominal pressure >> increase bladder pressure
Motor Control of Bladder Function

Internal Sphincter
-Circular muscle in neck; cont. of detrusor. Bladder relaxed, fibers are closed, act as sphincter. When detrusor contracts, sphincter is pulled open by change in bladder shape. PNS relaxes. SNS contracts
Motor control of Bladder Function

External Spincter
Circular muscle surrounds urethra, acts as a reserve mechanism to stop micturition, maintain continence despite increase in bladder pressure
Under voluntary control- somatic NS
Micturition
As bladder filling occurs, ascending spinal fibers relay info to center, which also receives input from forebrain about behavior cues for bladder emptying.


Coordination of micturition reflex occurs in pontine micturition center, facilitated by input from forebrain & SC reflexes. Center coordinates activity of detrusor & external sphincter.

Descending pathways from center produce coordinated inhibition of somatic systems, relaxation of both sphincters. The onset of urinary flow through the urethra causes reflex contraction of the bladder.
Bladder fills >> _________ receptor stimulated >> pelvic nerve carries impulses to _____________ >> ____________ center stimulated >> _______________ motor neurons send impulses to detrusor muscle through the ___________ nerve >> ____________ muscle contracts >> urination
bladder fills, stretch receptors stimulated, pelvic nerve carries impulses to sacral region of spinal cord, micturition center stimulated, parasympathetics motor neurons send impulses to detrusor muscle through the pelvic nerve, detrusor muscle contracts, urination

contract
Treat overactive/urge incontinence
