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] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_PPG LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG -> HumanMusclesTorso detrusor-urinae-muscle-parasympathetic): parasympathetic contracts, to urinate
* [- internal sphincter muscle of urethra, parasympathetic] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_PPG LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG -> HumanMusclesTorso internal-urethral-sphincter-parasympathetic): parasympathetic relaxes the muscle
* [- detrusor urinae muscle, sympathetic] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_SYM_IMG LAC.PN.SYM.IMG -> HumanMusclesTorso detrusor-urinae-muscle-sympathetic): sympathetic relaxes, to store urine
* [- internal sphincter muscle of urethra, sympathetic] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_SYM_IMG LAC.PN.SYM.IMG -> HumanMusclesTorso internal-urethral-sphincter-sympathetic): sympathetic contracts the muscle

• *Ureter conscious* (*ureter-conscious*)

* [- external sphincter muscle of female urethra] (BrainRegionLPC_SC_VH_ONF LPC.SC.VH.ONF -> HumanMusclesTorso external-urethral-sphincter-female): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
* [- external sphincter muscle of male urethra] (BrainRegionLPC_SC_VH_ONF LPC.SC.VH.ONF -> HumanMusclesTorso external-urethral-sphincter-male): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
