The Micturition Reflex

[andersenholm]

The animation is allright but very incomplete in certain aspects! - use only as a supplement..

Thanks - this was great! I was having lot of trouble keeping track of which nerves were doing what, and this was incredibly clear and easy to understand!

where is micturation center ??? is that in roster pons ??

[MicturitionKerukaina]

Educational, though there is no mention of the pons of the brain. I am embarrassed to admit that I had been mispronouncing the term "trigone," using the Greek style, and I'm glad that I was pronouncing "detrusor" correctly. And I'm very glad to fully understand the difference between afferent and efferent nerve impulses! Altogether a commendable video.

Amazing animation! I can only thank you for sharing this on youtube. Defently this shorts serveral minutes of imagination when reading a book´s chapter. If an image is worth more than 1000 words, a video is worth more than 1000 images!

Thank you! Glad that it helped.  I had a lot of fun on this animation.

superb animation...but just one flaw about the reflex because it occurs at the spinal leve thru the pelvic sphlancnic nerves.... and the brain controls the external urethral sphincter....but the animation is really nice..thnks

[mrwilt2000]

Thank you so much for commenting. I would have to discuss this with the subject matter expert because I just animate what I am told. :) I believe I still have the storyboards around here somewhere.

very helpful!

[sosokizza]

nifty animation...nice and simple..good work!

[hmmmindeed]

What you said isn't strictly true unfortunately. As the bladder fills, the stretch/detrusor contraction reflex is at a spinal level not up to the brain. If you cut the spinal cord in half, after 2 weeks the micturition reflex will still occur. The sympathetic tells the urethra smooth muscle to contrict storing urine, not the destrusor to relax.

[mrwilt2000]

Interesting. Thank you for commenting.

[hmmmindeed]

Hey mr wilt sorry, the sympathetic does tell the destrusor to dampen down oops, but it ALSO tells the neck of the bladder to contract. Sorry!!! The rest i said is correct though..Great animation by the way

[mrwilt2000]

Thanks for the compliment and clarification. I really enjoyed creating this animation.

[aroy121]

i agree with u, reflex is at a spinal level

[kembar87]
