Regulators of micturition reflex:
1. sacral micturition center: found in S2-S4 level
fxn: bladder contraction. parasympathetic fibers travel fr. S2-S4 ventral
white matter w/in pelvic nerves & stimulate cholinergic receptors in the
bladder wall.
2. pontine micturition center- found in the pontine reticular formation. It coordinates relaxation of external urethral sphincter w/ bladder contraction during voiding.
3. cerebral cortex: inhibits sacral micturition center.
