I understand your issues *(:>*
Micturition waves
intermittent contractions that attempt to signal bladder emptying
start around 20-50ml and stay constant up until 300-400ml then increase rapidly
Receptors are mainly in the posterior urethra
As the bladder fills the contractions last longer and longer, the contraction are self regenerating. The contraction further increases the stretch
If the contractions become severe the nervous reflex inhibits the pudendal nerve and causes urination
Matriculation reflex
is completely autonomic in the spinal cord
Voluntary urination
person voluntarily contracts there abdominal muscles, this increases bladder pressure
this pressure stimulates the maturation reflex and also inhibits the external sphincter tone
Overflow incontinence
loss of stretch signals from the bladder
urine leaks out
usually caused by a crushing injury
Tabetic dorsalis- fibrosis of dorsal nerve roots by syphilis
Autonomic bladder
if the spinal cord is injured about the sacral level all bladder control will be reflex
Uninhibited neurologic bladder
frequent matriculation
from partial damage of the spinal cord, inhibitory signals are lost so the brain keeps the sacral region excited causing matriculation with only a small amount of urine
over excited bladder
