00:01 Micturition is the process of urination or voiding. 00:06 There are three simultaneous events that must occur in order for micturition to occur. 00:12 First, you have contraction of the detrusor by the autonomic nervous system. 00:18 Also, you have the opening of an internal urethral sphincter by the autonomic nervous system. 00:25 These first two events are under involuntary control. 00:31 Finally, under voluntary control, you have the opening of the external urethral sphincter during the actual process of micturition.
The lecture Micturition (Nursing) by Jasmine Clark, PhD is from the course Urinary System – Physiology (Nursing).
