Urination is controlled by a complex central nervous system mechanism that coordinates urine storage and release by the regulation of smooth muscle in the bladder and urethra. Bladder storage, emptying and coordinated urinary sphincter activity , are controlled by the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and somatic nervous systems. Parasympathetic nerves in the spinal cord (S2-S4) act to contract the bladder and relax the urethra through the release of acetylcholine, which excites smooth muscle muscarinic

Year 11 Biology Physiology: The Human Excretory System Claire Brus   Abstract The aim of the practical was to observe the body’s reactions (flow of urination and colour of urination) in the presence of water, caffeine and no liquid during the important stage of reabsorption. Introduction Background Theory ‘The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from an organism, so as to help maintain homeostasis within the organism and prevent damage to the

Discussion: The investigation was to determine how an ingested substance can affect urine volume and colour. The volume graph clearly indicates the average volume of urine was highest for participants who consumed water, followed by the electrolyte drink, chips and control who did not consume anything. Each colour graph shows the frequency of urine colour for each group. Colour charts were used to measure the colour of urine, one being the lightest or most dilute and five the darkest or most concentrated

Study has found that “Aging results in some common bladder changes, such as decrease bladder capacity and bladder elasticity, increased spontaneous detrusor contractions, and decreased ability to postpone micturition, causing more frequent voiding” ( scemons, pg54 2013). Although many elderly experience UI, some particular groups are more at risk than others. First UI is “more common in people living in nursing

Micturating cystourethrography (MCUG), or voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a functional study of patient’s bladder and urethra. It evaluates patient’s ability to urinate, general indications include trauma and incontinence. Fever within last 24 hours, active UTI and allergy to contrast media are considered as contraindications for VCUG. The clinical notes stated that the young patient suffered from recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) and the doctor wanted to exclude recurrent vesicoureteral
