NERVOUS SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The urinary bladder is a muscular organ of the excretory system that collects urine excreted by the kidney. How does the nervous system help the urinary system in excretion?
A
it signals the urinary bladder to absorb more water from the urine.
B
It signals the urinary system to collect waste from the different parts of the body.
C
It signals the urinary bladder to hold and release urine at appropriate times.
D
It signals the urinary bladder to allow more urine to flow from the ureters.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The brain signals the bladder muscles to tighten, which squeezes urine out of the bladder. At the same time, the brain signals the sphincter muscles to relax to let urine exit the bladder through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -The urinary bladder is the organ that collects waste excreted by the kidneys prior to disposal by urination. It is a hollow muscular, and distensible (or elastic) organ, and sits on the pelvic floor. Urine enters the bladder via the ureters and exits via the urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -The neural control of micturition is organized as a hierarchical system in which spinal storage mechanisms are in turn regulated by circuitry in the rostral brain stem that initiates reflex voiding. Input from the forebrain triggers voluntary voiding by modulating the brain stem circuitry.
