The process of release of urine is called micturition and the neural mechanisms causing it is called the micturition reflex.
(i) Urine formed by the nephron is ultimately carried to the urinary bladder
(ii) This signal is initiated by the stretching of the urinary bladder as it gets filled with urine
(iii) In response, the stretch receptors on the bladder send signals to the CNS
(iv) The CNS passes motor messages to initiate the contraction of smooth muscles of the bladder causing the release of urine
Choose the correct option which contains the correct order of phenomena of micturition.
1. (i),(ii),(iii) and (iv)
2. (ii),(i),(iii) and (iv)
3. (iii),(ii),(i) and (iv)
4. (iv),(ii),(iii) and (i)
During the process of micturition:
Urinary bladder | Urethral sphincter | |
1. | Contracts | Contracts |
2. | Contracts | Relaxes |
3. | Relaxes | Contracts |
4. | Relaxes | Relaxes |
For the ejection of urine the voluntary signal is given by
(1) ANS
(2) CNS
(3) PNS
(4) Afferent arterioles
Micturition does not involve
1. Relaxation of urethral sphincter
2. Contraction of urinary bladder
3. Stretching of transitional epithelium of urinary bladder
4. Contraction of ureters
Analysis of urine helps in clinical diagnosis of many metabolic disorder as well as malfunctioning of kidney. Given below are some disorders
a. Glycosuria b. Ketonuria
c. Haematuria d. Proteinuria
Choose the correct option which indicates disorders of diabetes mellitus if not controlled?
1. a only
2. a & b only
3. a,b & c only
4. a,b,c & d
Micturition reflex is
(1) Hormonal mechanism to control Micturition
(2) Neural mechanism to control Micturition
(3) Local mechanism to control Micturition
(4) Both B and C
Which of the following is not associated with micturition reflex?
1. Relaxation of urethral sphincter
2. Contraction of detrusor muscle
3. Activation of stretch receptors in wall of ureters
4. Neural mechanism govern micturition reflex
