How many types of urination are there?
The main types of urinary incontinence are stress, urge, mixed, overflow, and functional. Reflex incontinence is another type caused by an injury to the spinal cord. If you're experiencing incontinence, see your doctor.
What are the urine pathways?
From the calyxes, pee travels out of the kidneys through the ureters (pronounced: YUR-uh-ters) to be stored in the bladder (a muscular sac in the lower belly). When a person urinates, the pee exits the bladder and goes out of the body through the urethra (pronounced: yoo-REE-thruh), another tube-like structure.
What receptor causes urination?
Alpha-adrenergic receptor function was found in the outlet region of the bladder, i.e. bladder base, bladder neck and proximal urethra, of man and cat. Stimulation of this type of receptor leads to a contraction of the internal sphincter of the bladder.
