A biomechanical model of the lower urinary tract which is able to respond to input signals from a neural network is presented. The neural input is the starting point in the description of the relationships between the various physical parameters in the mechanical model of the bladder and the urethra

## Abstract The autonomic innervation of smooth muscle in fresh biopsy specimens of the human urinary bladder, bladder neck and urethra has been examined using specific neurohistochemical techniques. Acetylcholinesterase‐containing nerve fibers have been demonstrated amongst the smooth muscle cells
Better understanding of the underlying working mechanism of the neural control of the lower urinary tract will facilitate the treatment of dysfunction with a neurogenic cause. We developed a computer model to study the effect of a neural control system on lower urinary tract behavior. To model the m
