The Micturition Reflex

I created this animation back in 2004 for Novartis. The animation explains the micturition reflex.

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

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.

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.
