The urinary bladder muscle and its external urethral sphincter are innervated, respectively, by the parasympathetic preganglionic motoneurons in the sacral intermediolateral cell column and somatic motoneurons in Onuf 's nucleus. Neurons coordinating the activity of these muscles during micturition
Intravesical electrical stimulation (IVES) is used clinically to improve bladder evacuation in patients with inadequate micturition contractions. The procedure involves field stimulation of A⦠bladder mechanoreceptor afferents resulting in a prolonged enhancement of the micturition reflex. The aim o
