In terms of urinary function, the parasympathetic nerves stimulate the detrusor to contract. Immediately preceding parasympathetic stimulation, the sympathetic influence on the internal
Is decreased urination sympathetic or parasympathetic?
The sympathetic activity also inhibits parasympathetic stimulation, preventing bladder contractions. When the sympathetic nervous system is active, urinary accommodation occurs and the micturition reflex is suppressed.
Is the bladder controlled by parasympathetic?
The parasympathetic control of the bladder musculature, the contraction of which causes bladder emptying, originates with neurons in the sacral spinal cord segments (S2–S4) that innervate visceral motor neurons in parasympathetic ganglia in or near the bladder wall.
