Answer

Mictruirtion is the process of disposing the contents from the bladdder. The micturition reflex is done when distension within the bladder wall stimulates the stretch receptiors. The afferent stimulese are sent to the sacral region of the spine and the effernt stimuleses are sent back to the bladder throught the pelvic splanchnic nerves. In result the detrusor muscles contracts and the internal sphincter becomes relaxed.
