This page covers biological details of component Ureter. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Target -> Human Effectors (aHumanEffectors) -> Ureter (TARGET.TEA.URETER) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: effector
• Brain area: Effector Area
• Role: unknown
• Function: Extract urine from blood in kidney and propel urine to urinary bladder and to outside

Components

(generated)

• Component items*:
• Ureter sensory data (ureter-sensory-data)
  • Ureter - ureter visceral receptors (ureter-visceral-receptors -> LPC.PN.SG.LDRG): respond to stretch and free nerve endings in the bladder mucosa that respond to pain and temperature
• Ureter autonomic (ureter-autonomic)
  • [- detrusor urinae muscle, parasympathetic] (LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG -> detrusor-urinae-muscle-parasympathetic): parasympathetic contracts, to urinate
  • [- internal sphincter muscle of urethra, parasympathetic] (LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG -> internal-urethral-sphincter-parasympathetic): parasympathetic relaxes the muscle
  • [- detrusor urinae muscle, sympathetic] (LAC.PN.SYM.IMG -> detrusor-urinae-muscle-sympathetic): sympathetic relaxes, to store urine
  • [- internal sphincter muscle of urethra, sympathetic] (LAC.PN.SYM.IMG -> internal-urethral-sphincter-sympathetic): sympathetic contracts the muscle
• Ureter conscious (ureter-conscious)
  • [- external sphincter muscle of female urethra] (LPC.SC.VH.ONF -> external-urethral-sphincter-female): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
  • [- external sphincter muscle of male urethra] (LPC.SC.VH.ONF -> external-urethral-sphincter-male): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
